I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC (Londres, Angleterre) in Aug 2021
Interview
Mid market M&A team interview process consisted of a technical interview, 3 hour LBO modelling test, then a final interview with the team MD. I enjoyed the modelling test as I was able to do it in my own time and return it once finished
There are four rounds from personality to intro, case and final round, not particularly tricky but to test the thinking. Very quick process if you are able to make the time
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Behaviour questions like how to manage time under pressure
after the aptitude they ghosted me and when i reached out for support they said there is no such positions, it was horrible experience, i didnt get any update after sharing my info
Initial Screen: A 30-minute introductory phone/video call with an HR recruiter to review your motivation, soft skills, and career goals.
Technical & Managerial Rounds: 1-on-1 or panel interviews with line managers or Managing Directors. These heavily test my financial acumen and industry knowledge.
