Econ vs. Finance for Interview
As an Econ major attending a top liberal arts college, I been teaching myself much of the required finance knowledge needed for an analyst position. I have been using the BIWS guide and Rosenbaum as my main sources of info, however I wanted to know if the questions thrown my way in interviews will be as in depth as a student coming from an undergrad B-school?
Only can speak from my experience in doing interviews, but the list of questions I would work off of are the same for everyone. I really doubt they will customize them for each candidates background, nor should they. Each question asked has generally one or two purposes...
See who you are, what you are all about, and how you might fit on team/culture (and why you want to job)
See you ability, knowledge, and capacity skill for the job. Entry level has entry level expectations, but you are still competing against everyone else, so why would a firm change their expectations based on a major?
All that said, an interview can and probably will look at your resume and ask custom questions based on items on it and what you have said already. So as an econ major, yes, you could draw some econ questions (esp. if the interviewer is an econ person themselves).
