Question 1
What trends or companies have you been following in the market?
I applied online. I interviewed at BlackRock (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2021
Interview
Multiple Rounds: - Hirevue - Zoom interview #1 - Zoom interview #2 - Final Round (got cut here) The first two zoom interviews are behavioral, second is more technical to gauge your skills and fit. The final round is not challenging if you know statistics, economics and coding/data experience. I did well on coding and economics but messed up probability definitions which is why I likely got cut. Overall, I had a very positive experience and those who were interviewers were incredibly talented and passionate about their jobs.
