The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BlackRock (London, England) in Nov 2023
Interview
As a first interview the questions raised were more on a personal level and regarding my background, especially the recent MSc and the CFA level passed. In addition, they asked one of the latest article or business news that comes in your mind.

Question 1
What is one of the latest news or event that you have read? why did he stand out and why?
Hirevue, asked 4 questions with unlimited prep time, all behavioral even for a somewhat technical role (Quant Analysis & Investment Risk). The unlimited preparation time was super helpful. Would recommend touching up on all behavioral questions.
Great experience. Basic questions. They were super friendly but super smart. Few questions about current affairs and its implications. Got back in a week. Writing definitely recommend. Although I’ll prepare from current affairs they’re not too familiar with to show breath.

Timed HireVue consisting of three questions. Typical motivational and personal questions such as Why Blackrock and this division, and something you have read about recently. Was standard difficulty in comparison to other similar roles
