      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at HSBC in Jun 2023

      Interview

      Typical 2 rounds of interviews. HR focused on background and Manager on technicals. Process was smoother and clearer than most other companies. Questions were not tricky but experience has to be exact match of the job function, which is very niche.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What do you know about XXX Trading.
