Leaked Interview Questions to Recruiting Services
Interviews are kicking off I'm noticing a pretty ridiculous trend this year where a lot of Chinese candidates (who are not the most behaviorally strong) seem to have our sample technical answers memorized word for word. Even when we slightly change the wording of the question they somehow have the exact framework ready..
Buddy of mine mentioned these recruiting agencies charging 50k collect interview questions through their mentors (usually analysts at banks) and circulate them to candidates. Not sure how much truth there is to it but wondering if people at other banks are experiencing something similar
Yeah, very true + Canadians.
A quarter of the mentors from these agencies are Ivey and McGill alum so wouldn’t be surprised
Very few of the Ivy / McGill students nowadays are actually Canadian
It’s a nightmare when that type of candidate actually gets through
How tf am I supposed to compete against these guys?
plenty of resources out there that u can just buy
You guys use the same exact technicals in every interview?
Yes unfortunately
if you throw a curveball and they know the framework and are able to apply said framework properly, what is the issue? that's just preparing normally...
whats new
I throw every resume and send every email straight to the trash if there's a mainland Chinese name.
I'm chinese american should I change my last name lol
China, Canada, and India do this widespread.
I believe it has been common over the past years - I’m at a top target US school and I know international kids who landed top offers (EVR, Q, GS) by paying their way through this program and getting the exact bank q’s given in interviews through their “network”. However, they keep it very down low.
these people are stealing our spots yo we need to can them asap
Why are we acting like the people who generally just learn the 400Q are better than them?
Because they understand English and are almost always better once they hit the desk?
here did OP say they can't speak English?
And why on earth would they be less capable than your little guys learning the answers word by word?
Why don’t we just hire white guys at this point? When I ran recruiting two years ago, I grilled Indians/Asians + DEI Becky more than white kids
Especially if it’s an Chinese guy / girl from a good but not top school lol (I.e, northwestern, UChicago, duke, NYU, etc). Insane how bad these kids are once they hit the desk
My firm stopped recruiting from Northwestern after a Chinese girl totally shit the bed during her internship but aced the technicals
Indians, Chinese, Koreans (and Canadians which nowadays are mainly the three groups I just mentioned) will cheat and backstab to get ahead
True. Indians as well. An Indian analyst on my team got caught last year leaking it to another Indian who was a sophomore going through recruiting
Indians should never be allowed to be in charge of anything recruiting or hiring related, they always favor other Indians
And white people favor other white people lol. I’m not Indian but hearing this place complain about “they play favorites, that’s unfair” when you have white people doing the same on an even bigger scale but not complaining about it is crazy. Jewish pulling for other Jewish talent, white seniors pulling for kids who went to their same prep school, etc. It happens like crazy. Isn’t so fun when someone else is doing it I guess.
Just say you worked for EVR HOU. This group is notorious for Indians, Chinese, and Canadians pulling for people from the same background, and they don’t even try to hide it. Indians and Chinese would directly text or even call people to send them interview questions
The analyst class is almost exclusively people of color, roughly one-third Indian, one-third Chinese, and one-third Canadian, with some DEI Hispanics from some shit school like UH. My friend, the only white American guy in the office, left and complained about how terrible they were to work with and how they had promoted another Canadian to MD
Everyone on the street needs to start realizing the plague that is “One Strategy Group or “OSG”
OSG Lmaoo
This isn’t just some Asian trend like many on here are trying to make. I have heard about it happening among white target kids as well. Especially when people get to offcycle PE recruiting in which people interview with different timelines, model tests and technicals bounce around the street like a cold.
