INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE (VARAD JOSHI)

FF INTERVIEW 1

I was first asked about myself, general introduction.

I was asked how I felt Brexit would affect banking sector investments in the UK.

I can’t remember if I was asked any other questions in this area.

Then I was asked why I had poor grades in my 3^rd semester and my general cgpa wasn’t very high either.

I was asked to solve some arithmetic question orally. I can’t remember them exactly, but stuff like find 9 to the power of 6. I was put on some time limit.

I believe they were tried to see my reactions and responses under pressure.

FF INTERVIEW 2

This was an interview based on a form I had to fill after clearing the first round. Mostly HR.
