Behavioral Presentation Case
The interview process began with a screening call with the recruiter where we talked about my background, current job, and qualifications. Next, I received an assignment, a case study. I was presented with a mock client portfolio and a fact sheet for one of the bank's discretionary strategies. My task was to prepare a presentation with recommendations for better asset allocation for the client and to pitch the managed portfolio. The third stage involved an in-person meeting at the office with two senior private bankers. We revisited my background and previous experience, but this interview was more about assessing team fit in a social context. The final round was with executive leadership, focusing directly on my experience with clients and leading investment and market discussions.

It was a quick process. I only met with HR and one manager and got hired in about 2 weeks. It didn't seem too hard. Wouldn't recommend working here though.

They asked me about my direct experience from my CV and how I could connect it to the job at the office I applied to. I was also asked why I was interested in this specific bank office.
