I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Galway) in Mar 2026
Interview
The worst part of the interview was the silence and the lack of any feedback afterward. The standard automated response was, “We’ve decided to move forward with other candidates.” Even though I completed two tasks in 45 minutes, and during the second interview, the manager himself said that all my answers were good.
