I got an online assessment and I was expected to answer from a bank of questions in a little over an hour. Expect to be asked a lot of general knowledge from the tech stack (SQL, Python, Pyspark) and prep to also answer some leetcode style questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
SQL: Calculate the total annual sales for each employee. Then, find the employee with the highest total sales.
The interviewers were very friendly. It was two interviewers and not technical at all. Know your resume and be charismatic and good at behaviorals. Have an understanding of what NASDAQ does and what products they offer.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Nasdaq (Hong Kong) in Aug 2022
Interview
Received an interview from recruiter for an Inside Sales role at Nasdaq. It was a single-round panel with a Sales Director and a Customer Success Manager (who had been promoted from Inside Sales).
The Sales Director was great—very professional, explained the job scope clearly, and spoke excellent English. That part felt solid.
The Customer Success interviewer, though, came across as quite junior. The questions were very basic—mostly about the education and simple background checks—and didn’t really assess my fit for the role. It felt like a mismatch in interview quality between the two panelists.
