Last one was 90 minutes long with a senior finance manager for a large bank. He was tough but fair, we went through in detail my whole resume and he made finance and accounting questions in between to see how i managed. He didn't know me, but he knew my job, so he went to ask me in depth questions about it. Overall, my answers were good, not perfect, but good enough he knew my resume wasn't BS. If you really want the job, you better PREPARE it, you need to differentiate yourself from others candidates (and competition is very tough).

You very thoroughly present key characteristics needed in virtually any and every profession where teamwork is critical. Your straightforward approach is not only refreshing but impressive.

These questions also show that being a financial analyst is more suited to extroverts like you said in another video. As an introvert, I can tell this just by looking at these questions, as they are no easy scenarios, when you tend to avoid conflicts and can't work well in high-stress situations. The real challenge is finding opportunities that are ideal for introverts and they are limited.

@ceus1001 Жыл бұрын

How do these questions show that extroverts are better suited? To me it’s mostly about self-confidence and growth nothing about extroversion vs introversion is on display here.

Exactly my question. I think analyst is an ambivert role even extroverts can thrive and introverts also depending on u company working style

Would you say there is a good work-life balance as a financial analyst? I'm a qualified accountant (ACA), though I was out of the market for a number of years to work as a broker, since then, I've come back to a management accountant role and actually find handling and analyzing data and learning how the business works the most enjoyable parts of my role so I applied for financial analyst roles.

@TheFinancialController 3 жыл бұрын

Yes decent work life balance but it goes down as you climb the ladder to higher roles but not too bad

The fact that interviewers actually think like this is insane. But it’s easier to work in an office than in a field so I guess this would be expected
