Hi everyone,
I will interview for an entry level FA position. I searched on the internet, people were saying that mostly behavioral questions are asked.
What kind of questions should I expect? I would appreciate your insight.
Thanks!
 
In my experience, the first interview is all about getting to know who you are. The key is for them is to typically determine if you are ambitious and trainable. I didn’t have any financial related questions until my second or third interview.
 
behavioural questions sound like HR questions to me..
three greatest strengths and weaknesses, name a time when you were on a team and had a non-team-player teammate and what you did to overcome that…etc…
 
Our FAs are asked basic financial questions like “how do you calculate FCF?” they’re also asked basic business questions like, “how do we make money?”
 
valuation, industry analysis, personality fit, etc..round 1 shouldnt be too bad..if its a small firm, you may only have 1 round, so keep that in mind
 
should expect some corporate finance, accounting questions - tailored to the industry
You are a L2/L3’er, right? you should be just fine on the technicals
also know your resume inside out and research the co. - sounds rudimentary but sometimes overlooked
good luck!
 
Thank you very much for your answers..Yes, I am a L2 candidate..
I have the Vault Interview Book..
I guess I should review the projects I have on my resume..
