Technical Behavioral Presentation
The interview process had over five distinct stages, and it was sometimes unclear what information they were trying to gather about me or which topics they would focus on. A particularly challenging aspect was the client interviews, which are part of the hiring process. It seemed like the clients were primarily focused on their own project needs, leading to a misalignment of interests between the company and the clients.

Technical Coding
The process was pretty smooth. First, I had an online test that covered accounting, derivatives, and equity investments. Then, there was one technical interview round. The online test was a bit tough, mainly because of the time constraints rather than the questions themselves. During the interview, I was asked about financial ratios and valuation concepts.
