Question 1
Why HSBC?
Why this role?
Why are you a good fit?
Past experience?
Typical banking graduate process. They follow the multiple steps you usually go through, the final stage of these steps is the interview itself. Meaning you have to spend a few hours of doing their assessments, and many many many hours preparing of course.
The process kicked off with an online application—pretty standard stuff. I submitted my resume, filled out some details about my background, and answered a few questions about why I wanted to work at HSBC. After a couple of weeks, I got an email saying I’d made it to the next stage: an online assessment. This part was a mix of aptitude tests—think numerical reasoning, logical puzzles, and a bit of verbal reasoning—plus a situational judgment test where I had to pick the best responses to workplace scenarios. It took about an hour and a half, and I made sure to practice similar tests beforehand to get the hang of it.

Question 1
Situational Judgment: “A client is unhappy with a delayed report. How do you respond?” (Options ranged from apologizing and escalating to brushing it off—I picked a proactive, customer-focused approach.)
Numerical Reasoning: “If a portfolio grows 15% in year one and drops 10% in year two, what’s the net change?” (Straightforward math, but quick thinking was key.)
