I applied online. I interviewed at Bank of America (Hong Kong) in Aug 2025
Interview
Hirevue, then a 2nd round with associates. Took more than a month to get to 2nd round. Interview questions were generally difficult compared to US shops, and pretty standard for HK interviews or maybe a touch harder.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the tax rate you use for cost of debt? Statutory or Effective
Final interview was two rounds, one behavioral, one technical. You can tell everyone is tired of talking to candidates. Questions are difficult but nothing out of the standard investment banking questions Canon, make sure you understand your technicals.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Name a time you juggled multiple tasks and how you managed your time.
Got in through the Spring Insights Forum. The behavioural portion was a bit weird. the MD did not want to be there and it messed that up. The technical was good tho
hirevue --> first round video interview --> AC with 4 rounds with vp / d / md.
Offers and rejections go out the folllowing week. No answer means you are in the waiting list (unlikely to get an offer imo)
