The manager asked me some questions about my resume. Basically, if you are good at talking about your past experience, it's fine. You should be able to show your passion for the finance industry. For example, I discussed my experience in a valuation challenge, and the manager seemed really interested. Also, a good academic record is pretty important, at least for the manager who interviewed me. Overall, the interview wasn't difficult at all.

Had a phone interview first where they asked about my self-intro, some academic theories, and general knowledge on index. Then, I had a face-to-face interview where I met two managers and did tests on excel, covering both spreadsheet and VBA.
