Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interview started with basic introductions followed by some resume grilling, I was asked about my contributions in the previous internship, How my experiences aligned to the analyst role. This was followed by a guestimate, I was told to figure out revenue stream of a movie hall, and to calculate its monthly revenue
1st round is behavior plus casing. Casing is typical. Very standard. Try your best. But if the math is off a bit, it is okay. Explain your logic and framework. Connection is important..
Few case questions and guestimation questions if needed. After that there will be rounds of phone interviews on research methods and your working style. The case questions were pretty straight forward and for research methods you should have your own style of research method.
