I just found out I have a rather long in person interview coming up. What kind of questions should I expect?

I do fundamental corporate credit analysis in the risk management department of a BB. If this is what you're asking about, then hours vary by industry vertical as well as deal flow. Usually it will be 40-50 hrs per week, but if you're industry is in a downturn or if deals start picking up, you'll end up hitting 60-70. Hope this helps and good luck for the interview.

 

I'd actually be interested in this too. Also, how do they differ between IG and SG corporate banking?

Thanks. Is that a normal day or is it just a busier period?

I just started, but apparently this is a busier period. I'm in my fourth week and I've worked 40 hours now over the past 3 days.

So far, I'm averaging roughly 60 hours/week but I'm in a specialized group so it could be different for you. It's not bad. I've been told that during a slow period it's more like 50.
