Definitely know how to answer the “walk me through a DCF” question. I can almost guarantee it’ll be one of your questions. Honestly, if you google “IB interview questions” it’ll give you a pretty solid idea of what to expect

For corporate and investment banking analyst

Look on Glassdoor, Wall Street Oasis etc. for typical interview questions - often you can even find stuff specific to the firm you’re interviewing at. Practicing the ones you see come up all the time is a good start.

Hello Fishes,

I currently hold offers from below:
IBM - 15.5 LPA
CTS - 18.5 LPA
PWC India - 16 LPA
Oracle Financial Services Software(OFSS) - 21 LPA

Planning to join OFSS as I will work in product development team and can work in any shift timings with WFH.

Today I had my 2nd round interview with EY GDS and got rejected.
Do I need to worry about this and feel low?
Could EY GDS would have been better instead of OFSS?

Please provide your valuable inputs.

I recently had an interview with HCL and cleared 2 rounds of technical interview. I waited for a week for HR call but no such call was received. I then contacted the POC who scheduled the interview (he is an HCL employee) and he said that I have been shortlisted and will receive HR call shortly. This was 1 week ago and I have still not received any call. Has anyone else faced the same issue? And if yes, should I even expect a call fro HR?
