Interview process is the typical behavioural kind when interviewing for a Financial Advisory positions (except M&A). They are usually keen to hear about your experiences and how you've overcome personal challenges in life. Found that the most important aspect is the 'fit', and how genuinely enthusiastic you are about the area you are going into.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Interviewed for restructuring and the most difficult question related to an insolvency I wasn't overly familiar with the particulars of. The important thing is to admit where your knowledge gaps are. Bluffing knowledge of a job to the people who have in all likelihood worked on it won't get you very far. Better to say what you know and say what you don't know.
Interview process was smooth but took time to be scheduled. After the interview, feedback was quick but the interview was rescheduled several times. Interview consisted of behavioral questions with 2 interviewers from the same department.
