Behavioral Other

The Hirevue interview was pretty straightforward. They asked 8 questions in total. One was specifically about the Financial Industry, and the rest were mostly behavioral questions, with the last one being open-ended. It wasn't overly difficult, but it's a good idea to stay informed about current global events.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

It was a long process. I met over 10 people in total up to the final round. The last interview was with one of the APAC MDs, and it wasn't technical or difficult, just average questions. Throughout the process, I met many Sales Directors who were always asking me to ask them questions. One time, the Head of Sales started the interview by asking 'is there anything you wanna ask?'. So, be sure to prepare a lot of insightful questions that will make you stand out.
