Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What asset classes do you follow, what research projects have you done in the past
The interview process started off positively. The job description listed Python knowledge as a requirement. Although Python was not included on my CV, the company still chose to move forward with the interview. However, at the end of the interview, I was informed that I was not qualified for the role because I do not know Python. This was confusing, as this information was already clear from my application.
Nice people, felt casual. They record your interviews and you have to consent beforehand, not sure why. Met with HR a few times then the hiring manager and wanted to advance me to third round but I passed based on the reference to a startup environment.
