Question 1
What do you consider your strengths, and in which specific tasks have they been demonstrated?
Fishing interview.
A call with a guy. He looks less experienced than me in this industry. Or the firm looks less experienced than me in this industry. He asked me lots of nonsense questions about strategies and digged every detail that I have to teach him step by step as if he was my intern. When asking their performance, he gave ambiguous answer which was apparently not good. After that, I got rejection.
Typical fishing interview, don't waste time here.
