Should’ve mentioned this is just the screening. So is it behavioral?

Yep the screening is very behavioral. It’s just to see if you’re a good fit in terms of experience and want to be here for the right reasons. Most likely with an HR person so they’ll know even less than you.

Pro tip: avoid saying that you want to do FDD because you hate tax and want out of tax. Try to be more specific on why you want to be in FDD, and how tax provides you some of the basic skill set. For the behavioral just add in a few buzzwords that lend credence to your understand of FDD (QOE, NWC etc)

Most screenings are very general. Know how to walk through your resume, why xxx firm/company, why FDD, etc.

They do case studies I believe

Hey Guys,
I am trying to upload my payslips in bgv portal of capgem but it is throwing an error that data is insufficient and hence I am not able to submit. Also my lwd in current firm is still 10 days away so I can only provide them with my payslips for now. There is an option to select Yes if still haven't received other docs.

At what point does the value of a degree fall off? I'm in my early 30s, and have five years of experience, and work on a very theoretically interesting project. I believe I'm on track to promotion in the next year. So, I could put in a year of full time school to check the box off, but I'd be sacrificing hobbies and social life (not to mention cost). Is this FOMO or is there real opportunity here?
