Bloomberg Professional Analytics interview questions

First telephone interview with two people from the Professional Analytics team was pleasant and easy. Questions about background, motivations and what I think Bloomberg and the Professional Analytics team does. The second interview with a panel of three was difficult. Questions about how the Nikkei was performing, its current value and how I expected it to go featured heavily. Also the usual questions about handling difficult clients, operating in a fast paced environment and why I'm the best pick for the job. The interview was followed by a 45 minute skills test in Japanese focusing on finance, maths, polite Japanese language, society and history questions. Not easy at all for a non-Japanese native.
