Question 1
with senior analysts, most of questions were. basic questions like why you want to work for the department and what you have done in your university time. they also asks you some mathematical questions to check your basic calculating/logic abilities with managers, they will ask you more questions relating to your personal characteristics and mindset, they've asked me some case-study-ish questions to assess my critical thinking skills, fundamental values and thoughts.
Domande personali (obbiettivi, perché la posizione); domande tecniche; domande logiche. Questo è stato il mio primo colloquio, prima si fa un test online attitudinale. Nel caso di second colloquio un business case.
Initial screening call followed by technical assessment. First round around your fit for Citi, why investment banking, why the specific section, your past experiences, etc. Quite standard questions to assess fit.
