2018 citi IBD APAC 1st round interview

Hope everyone is doing well so far. So I received 1st round interview invitation few days ago and it is on 11th. They asked me to bring calculator. I heard CMO candidates did theirs today. Any idea what to expect? Specifically is it going to be an onsite test or case? (besides regular group interview). Thanks

I did my 2 years at a BB in HK.

It really depends who your interviewer is - is the position country coverage (e.g. China team) or industry / product team? If your interviewer is from the latter, the interview will likely be a lot more technical (my team most were all ex-NY / London) and liked to push the kids in the interviews.

But Season11 was absolutely correct in that is is imperative to show your dedication to the region (the banks in Asia want their analysts to stay at the bank as well as in the region).

Good luck

 

I'm having the phone interviews soon as well. However, I'm slightly confused because I applied for 2 locations but the email did not say which location I will be interviewing with...should I ask them or just wait for the bankers to call me?
