I applied online. I interviewed at Citi (Mumbai) in Nov 2024
Interview
I had first interview for some Banking role, but the interviewer didn't found a fit for the role and instead referred me to an IB role for which his colleague was hiring. The experience with him was good but for the IB role, the interviewer was horrible. She joined 15 minutes late, didn't apologized or greeted. Just tell me about yourself with a poker face.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself and which sector would benefit from the rise in renewables
The interview process at Citi followed a fairly standard bulge bracket structure and was well organized overall. After submitting my application online, I was contacted by HR for an initial screening call that focused primarily on my background, interest in investment banking, and motivation for applying to Citi. This call was conversational and lasted about 20–30 minutes.
The first formal interview round consisted of one-on-one interviews with analysts and associates. These interviews included a mix of behavioral and technical questions. Behavioral questions focused on my past experiences, teamwork, leadership, and reasons for pursuing investment banking and Citi specifically. Technical questions covered core valuation concepts, including DCF methodology, enterprise value, and how changes in depreciation affect financial statements
