I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at HSBC (Bengaluru) in Sep 2025
Interview
The interview process was heavily focused on Excel and SQL, assessing hands-on data analysis, data cleaning, and problem-solving skills through two in-depth, real-world case studies requiring structured thinking and clear insights.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Write a SQL query to find customers who made more than 3 transactions in a single month and their total transaction amount for that month.
There are four rounds from personality to intro, case and final round, not particularly tricky but to test the thinking. Very quick process if you are able to make the time
