Second stage: Assessment center in house. It was almost 4 hours long. - Started off with a real life simulation where you tend to clients by using the terminal. Took about 15 minutes. - Then a 15 min interview, just behavioural questions. - Then a 15 min role play. Was asked to sell an item in the room to the interviewer. - Then a case study you solve with a partner. - Then a group discussion. I was called at the end of the day and was invited to the next, and last stage. Third stage: An hour and a half. - 30 min shadowing session to start off. Ask the right questions, be friendly, you'll be fine. - 1 hour interview. They ask technicals, they GRILL YOU on your resume. Was asked why bloomberg, where I saw my career headed, etc. Was asked a random question (about starbucks, listed below). Took a week for them to get back to me. **Overall, be confident, friendly, prepare well for all stages, and you will be fine.
