BofA 2025 Global Markets, just received HireVue
I just received a HireVue for BofA's 2025 Global Research summer program. Besides basic behaviorals, what kinds of ER/CR specific questions should I expect? I'm very naive, especially when it comes to er/cr, so I would appreciate any words of wisdom. Thank you
Based on the most helpful WSO content, when preparing for a HireVue interview for BofA's Global Research summer program, especially in the Equity Research (ER) and Credit Research (CR) areas, you should be ready to tackle a mix of behavioral questions and technical questions specific to ER/CR. Here are some insights to guide your preparation:
Behavioral Questions: These are designed to assess your fit within the company culture, your teamwork capabilities, problem-solving skills, and resilience. Common questions might include:
Technical Questions Specific to ER/CR:
Market Knowledge and Current Events: Being up-to-date with current market trends and news is crucial. You might be asked about your opinion on recent developments in the markets, interest rate movements, or specific events impacting the equity or credit markets.
Behavioral Techniques: While preparing for technical questions, don't neglect the importance of storytelling and structuring your answers in a clear, concise manner. Use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure your behavioral responses.
Remember, the key to success in HireVue interviews is preparation. Practice your answers out loud, ensure you are comfortable with the basics of financial analysis, and stay informed about the markets. Good luck!
