Hi guys,
I've got a 1st round call with CS coming up in London. Does anyone know if they ask any technicals in first round? - Call is scheduled for 30 mins but usually these 1st round calls end in like 15 mins for me lol.

Thank you. Do you reckon they will ask this on a first round phone call?!
Be ready for anything (if you want it bad enough)
Thanks for the insight, could you please explain questions 3 & 4 or give the answers ?
What position? For an internship they didn't ask me any technicals in the first round.
Analyst role. Was your phone call with just HR or with someone senior from the team you would be hired to?
