Technical Behavioral

There were two rounds, one was technical and the other had more finance questions, like swaps, bonds, yield curves, options, python coding, and Greeks. The interviewers were friendly. One interview was online, and the other was onsite. It wasn't too difficult, but I should have prepared more.

Behavioral Technical

The interview process consisted of three rounds. Initially, there was a recruiter call to discuss my background and fit for the role. Following that, I had two interviews with managerial team members to discuss my technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and past projects. The last interview was with the Senior Director, focusing on my strategic fit, leadership potential, and long-term prospects. I got the offer after that last interview.
