4 rounds - scenario based questions
They check the depth and cross question on whatever you say. Derivatives, Option pricing, Greeks, VaR, CAPM are some heavily asked topics.
The interviewers are mostly chill and will lead you to answer if you are unable to reach where they want you to. Rest just be confident it's not that difficult if you have a little bit of background in finance and accounting.
5 rounds in total, rejected post round 5, which turnout to be a Technical round, but I was briefed earlier by the HR that it will be an HR round. Tried concating them, but they ghosted me.
