    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).

    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
      @ceus1001 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

    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.
