I was interviewing to work with modelling and analytics focusing on technical writing and validation of existing models. Questions were very job specific to see if I had the requires skillset. It was super helpful for me to have familiarised myself a bit with the models before interviewing.
I interviewed at Standard Chartered Bank (Shanghai, Shanghai)
Interview
I only got 1st round interview. The interviewer is quite kind and nice and not pushy. while the questions are very difficult if you don't prepare. I didn't expect the 1st round is technical interview and I almost forgot what I learnt in school. questions covering instrument pricing, computing such as C++, data structure and some mathematics.
I applied through university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Standard Chartered Bank (Singapore) in Mar 2021
Interview
1 online test, I assume 5 rounds of interviews, but I only went through 2. The online test was not easy but not hard I would say. You need to have good knowledge of mathematical finance, probability, programming.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A lot of emphasis on your motivation for pursuing this role. How interested you are in mathematical finance, quantitative analysis. Typical MF questions related to BS model and greeks. I only had 1 brainteaser while the rest were heavily emphasised on MF and statistics.
