Why this role? - Name one BB product other than the terminal - Market share of BB & competitors - Current affairs in finance - What jobs did you apply to other than this one? - Why would Volkswagen get a BB terminal? - Random question about CDS prices on Switzerland??? then how do they relate to inflation - Talk a bit about financial regulation - Understanding of BB culture - If you could restart the interview, what would you answer differently (<- hard question as I was caught completely off guard)
