For university students targeting #internships and #gradjobs in S&T, the job market has been worse than expected, and even #globalmarkets teams that had several offers last year, didnt generate great hope.
But that means your efforts need to be that much unique to outcompete students with stronger profiles and every interview offer you get, counts.
Passing less than one interview may lead to no offer this year!
All students who have signed up for the Markets Team, or are interested in investment banking S&T in the future, must save this latest Interview List!

#Ibankcoaching compiled a list of Markets Team interview questions that hiring managers asked this year:

โœ… Technical Qs
1๏ธโƒฃ Do you know the responsibility of a Trader?
2๏ธโƒฃ How can a Trader effectively manage risk?
3๏ธโƒฃ Trade idea (Barclays S&T)
4๏ธโƒฃ What is the ETF trading process? (Jane Street S&T)
5๏ธโƒฃ What is ETF creation & redemption? (Jane Street S&T)

โœ… Market Qs๏ผš
In terms of Markets views, Interest rate hike, ESG and Outbreak of war are all hot topics this year! Other issues include:
6๏ธโƒฃ The impact of the Israel Palestine war on global markets (CACIB Global Markets Group Discussion Topic):
7๏ธโƒฃ Current FX rate for SGDKRW or other currency (Citi Markets)
8๏ธโƒฃ Whatโ€™s the level of S&P 500 right now? (Goldman Sachs S&T)
9๏ธโƒฃ How is your outlook for oil price? (Goldman Sachs FICC & Equities)
๐Ÿ”Ÿ Market news sharing (JPM Markets)
.
โœ… Motivational and Fit Qs

1๏ธโƒฃDo you want to be a Trader or a Sales?
2๏ธโƒฃ Why FICC? (CICC FICC Structured Product Sales)
3๏ธโƒฃ Why markets? (HSBC Markets)
4๏ธโƒฃ What is your career aspiration? (HSBC Markets)
5๏ธโƒฃ How did you equip yourself for Global Markets?(BNP Paribas)
6๏ธโƒฃ The client requested urgent trade, but the trader is currently busy with other stuff. How would you manage the situation? (Jane Street S&T)

As long as you prepare these 16 questions, for either an S&T interview or an international #investmentbank you can't go wrong with this.

In fact, #Ibankcoaching understands very well that this yearโ€™s Job Markets are dismal. Often, itโ€™s not necessarily that we donโ€™t work hard enough or that weโ€™re not good enough. Many things are simply out of our control.

Just like every time the market changes, we say: "Only the students who can adapt first and turn crisis into opportunity can become the winners of the next round"! As for this job search journey, we will definitely continue to back you up!!

Let's hustle together!
