Behavioral Technical
So first there was a Hirevue, and then a superday. The superday had 4 interviews back to back with different people from the same team: an analyst, an associate, a VP, and a director. It was mostly behavioral, with a big focus on why you want to work at BlackRock, and some market knowledge mixed in (like why a company might IPO or the connection between interest rates and inflation).
Confirmed questions4 questions
- Why are you interested in BlackRock?
- Why did you choose to pursue a career in Finance?
- Could you explain the reasons why a company might decide to go public (IPO)?
