I have an interview for an internship in commercial banking. Any tips or suggestions before going into this interview? Anything I need to brush up on before going in? What should I expect? What are they looking for?

Have a reason behind each of your answers. If they ask about what you would invest in, give them a general list then say why. Some banking interviews have asked people to do mental math. Think out loud when you do. They want to see how your brain works

Can you clarify what the role of your internship is? For example, an analyst might get more technical questions whereas someone client-facing might have more social questions.

Hi folks,

i am currently an associate at EYP Shanghai and considering consulting opportunity in ME. Does anyone know whether it will have a shot on application if I just submit the application without any referral for firms like MBBs?

Thanks in advance!

I currently work at a large research institution and am in the process of getting retroactively reclassified to a new title (Long story but my PI is cheap and routinely pays ppl the bare minimum so now the Union is helping me w/ a retro reclass.) Reclass can take 2 - 6 months to process. Meanwhile, I am interviewing for industry job. If I get an industry job, what do I do if my reclass isn’t processed yet? I want the title and the money owed which may be about $15000- 20000.

I’m in a predicament. At my organization, pay-for-performance salary increases are based entirely off of a person’s annual review. The problem is that I report to the CEO and he never (and I mean NEVER) does annual reviews. This was not disclosed during the interview process. What should I do? I like the work and love the people, but how long can you stay somewhere that doesn’t give raises?

Cognizant put my candidature on hold after both rounds of interviews and HR ended up telling me that it’s coz of my current CTC. They will interview more candidates and accordingly get back to me . As of now, my candidature is “on hold”.

I was told that they’d have to give me a higher designation to justify my kind of salary. Right now my YOE fall in Manager band. How true is this?

The interviewer asked me my current CTC only and no discussions on expectations have happened till now.
