I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Crédit Agricole (Ciudad de Mexico) in May 2016
Interview
Easy first interviw with very few technical questions. A lot of personal ones that aim to decide if you will be agood fit with the current team. Small teams, it looks like the ability to work within tight deadlines is paramount for being selected to the next phase.
An ideal thing to say is that you understand the sacrifice that is needed to work for any investment banking firm and that you are willing to give a lot of things.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Crédit Agricole (Hong Kong) in Jul 2020
Interview
The first question is about ask you to introduce yourself, then ask what is your strenghs and weaknesses, how you suitable for the role you apply, any example you can give...
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Crédit Agricole in Jul 2016
Interview
I was first contacted by the head office to schedule an in person interview. I was explained that the position was contractual and asked about my expectations in regards to my compensation. I was very transparent with them in regards to my current salary and my expectations for the role, especially in a contractual context. I first met with the branch manager, who told me about the firm's history, his personnal story but didn't ask me too many questions. The second one was a senior relationship developper, extremely engaging, the most fun I've had in an interview in quite some time. The third one was with the head of operations for the group, and while I have nothing in particular to say against him, he mostly asked me clichés questions ( strenghts, weaknesses etc. ).
A few days later, they called me back with an offer of about 35% under my current level of compensation, with no benefits whatsoever.
While what they offered in a professionnal context seemed very compelling, I wish I hadn't spent that much time and energy over something that I was obviously going to decline.
