Behavioral Technical Case
I had one interview round with the director. It involved market-based questions, where I had to propose a trade and share my opinions on the market, followed by related questions. There were no other technical assessments. They also asked about Fed rates and my thoughts on them.

Behavioral Technical
First round was 30 mins behavioural and 30 mins technical. It felt like they focused more on technical aspects compared to some other banks, including BIWS questions, some calculations, and industry-related queries. Otherwise, it was pretty standard.
