So I had a few rounds with a couple of market risk officers, and it was mostly about logical reasoning, brain teasers, knowledge of capital markets (like gold or S&P 500 prices), Greeks/derivatives, and risk-related stuff. Honestly, it felt pretty tough.

Behavioral Technical
My work-study interview at BNP Paribas for the Credit Risk Analyst position was with the team manager. We mostly talked about my motivations, my background, and my understanding of the role. The manager then asked me technical questions about credit risk assessment and key financial ratios. The exchange ended with me asking questions about the missions and how the team works, which helped me better understand the job expectations.
