There were two rounds of interview, scheduled in just one day. A lot of questions about your opinions about current market, the impact of new legislations on the bank, so a good knowledge about what is happening in the market is necessary to ace the interview. The interviewers are generally nice, be yourself and be honest are really important, do not make things up if you are not sure what you are talking.

Sent an initial online application for general Global Markets Associate position. I initially intended my application to be sent for an equity research role. After about a month of waiting, got an email that I was invited for the first-round interview scheduled two weeks later. About 4 days before the interview, I was told that my interview will be with the quantitative research team! Probably they chose this based on my CV, but it could have helped if they made this clear in the first place, not 4 days before the interview. Tried to scrape up as much as I could, but got completely shot down. Absolutely no fit questions. Only technical.
