First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at OCBC.
Risk Analyst
So first you have the hiring manager interview where they ask about your education and work history, and really want to see your personality. Then there's a second interview for technical questions, like FRM stuff, like how to calculate VaR and ES. Lastly, an HR interview about salary expectations.
- What is your understanding of FRM concepts?
- Can you explain how to calculate VaR and ES?
- Could you outline the Black Scholes model?
Market Risk Analyst
I saw the opening on LinkedIn and applied. About a week later, I got a call from HR to set up the interview. There was one round of interviews with the managers and the head of market risk.
- Tell me about your background.
- Can you describe your previous working experience?
- What is your technical knowledge regarding FRTB?
Risk Analyst
The interview process included mostly behavioral questions, like discussing strengths and a personal introduction. There were also a couple of technical questions focused on Excel. It was a good conversation with the interviewers, who explained the role and confirmed my expectations.
- Could you introduce yourself?
- What are your main strengths?
- Can you answer some technical questions about Excel?
