Interview
First and second rounds went well- video interview & than a Skype interview with a recruiter. Final round was incredibly uncomfortable. The first interviewer was really nice and I learned a lot from her. I was assigned a case study where I had to pick two advisors for each brief and explain why. The second interviewer was incredibly rude. He asked me a ton of personal questions which I'm pretty sure you're not even legally allowed to ask...he second guessed everything I said (even though I gave him well thought out answers) and criticized me for applying to jobs across all industries instead of the one I was just passionate about (sorry I have student loans and don't have the luxury to lay around and wait for my dream job). Like others said in this board, they expect a lot of you for not having any formal training. They seem to be looking for a perfect mold and you've either got it or you don't. Don't let them fool you, this is essentially a sales job in disguise. Yes you do the research & connect with other business professionals, but you're essentially selling Alphasights services to the client and the advisor you're trying to connect. It's a giant call center...I wouldn't call it consulting in the slightest. It's a shame because I was really excited about this interview, but the interviewer made it a really unpleasant experience. He asked about my SAT scores which I thought was bizarre. Even if they gave me an offer I wouldn't have taken it, I knew from the minute I left that interview it wasn't the place for me. Know their BREAD process and be ready to answer every single question about your background dating back to high school...

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. why I want to move my job
2. what's my long-term goal
Interview process was ok, several stages and language test as it was a particular language speaking role, only downside really was very little feedback given at the end when not successful. When I asked for a feedback call as to why I wasn’t successful they didn’t answer my question and it was a 2 mins call saying that I was just unsuccessful.
