Question 1
How do you feel your current professional experience would translate to this role?
I applied in-person. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Londres, Inglaterra) in Oct 2024
Interview
I promised myself to add one here to help because I didn't find much information when I interviewed.
I met BB at a recruiting event where I chatted with them and few days after I was invited to apply for the role. The recruitment process is smooth, quick and seamless. The recruiters are amazing and responsive.
You have 4 interviews with each of them being a knockout round. First is with HR where you talk about your motivation, understanding of the role and your skillset. Second is a technical interview involving Python, Data Normalisation, ML Concepts. Third is Python-Pandas where you have to perform EDA. Final Round is with an experienced manager who, like the first interview, is trying to understand your motivation, skillset and experiences (maybe from your CV?).
I would say that you are very supported by BB throughout the interview process - They tell you all you need to do to prepare and answer any questions you have in a timely manner.
It's up to you to cross the finish line. What you put in is what you get out. Good luck !
