Note : the hr team will not keep you posted if you are not selected even after completing 3 rounds. Felt they were unprofessional and had no decency to at least let me know the outcome.Rejected or not, i deserve a reply for giving up my time to do all this.

Question 1
2) Zoom interview with the manager : which was great. Asked questions like describe yourself, what financial knowledge do you have etc.
3)F2F with the head who is a foreigner: Felt she judged me even without knowing me as a person . First time i'm being told that " i do not think you will study the financial materials for this position" . Woww like you do not even know me as a person. Was already turned off by the attitude so didn't bother to prove myself to such an individual. We are not kids, remember that!
Straightforward process and helpful HR throughout the whole process, which I liked. I recommend others to apply to this job role too if you get the chance. Email the HR reps of you have any questions.
