I applied online. I interviewed at BlackRock in Nov 2020
Interview
• Conducted daily pricing analysis and NAV dissemination for over 10 BlackRock mutual funds, worth $8.6 billion, and reconciled cash balance, subscription and redemption reports with custodian banks, ensuring accurate daily fund NAV calculation.
• Executed daily ad-hoc requests from portfolio managers and clients. Connected with custodian banks, and notified daily trading transactions and cash transfer instructions. Evaluated huge pricing fluctuation in investment securities and prepared timely and accurate corporate action events, distribution reports to clients.
Many steps. Firstly a maths and English test. Followed by a video interview then to an in person round of 4 interviews. Took 2 months to get back with the result of the interview
Pretty high level, not very technical - still need interest and knowledge of markets. Key factor is knowing company’s history, priorities, and why you want to work there. Super day in final round (4-5 interviews).
