Introduction Over the years, the hiring process in banks has become increasingly competitive and involves multiple stages including video interviews, assessment centers/superdays, case studies, psychometric tests, and behavioural screening. This repository reflects our team’s in-depth research on the hiring process of various banks across the spectrum of divisions including JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, HSBC, Goldman Sachs, DB, DBS and more. We obtained insights from hiring managers, senior management and our students who not only aced these interviews but also managed to bag some cushy banking offers. We designed this guide to serve you well whether you are currently aiming to crack any bank MT programs, interested in securing an internship, or even applying to any bank divisions (eg: as a commercial banking analyst) with some professional experience backing you up. The screening process is tough and designed to test various aspects of your personality, therefore apart from giving you a sneak peek into the technical and behavioural questions that applicants have encountered in the past, we compiled brain teasers as well as market knowledge related material.
