Citi HK IBD

Hey WSO,

Just received a first round for Citi's HK office. I go to a target in the UK.

The first round interview is 2 hours long. Is it a combination of interviews and tests? Anyone who could share some insight on the process is more than welcome. Thanks.

Probably not, seems like the first rounds interviewees do not have a superday right after.

He's not on WSO, but he told me a little bit more in detail today. So apparently you need to translate an article from English to Chinese, write an article in Chinese, and pick an article out of four to read which later you will have to comment in the interview. You have one hour to prepare for them. If you are not familiar with group interviews, I would suggest prepare for it. My friend said there were around 100-150 people interviewing in NYC, and they took like maximum two from each small group.

Hope this helps.
