Premier Relationship Manager at HSBC Bank USA
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in New York, NY Aug 2012 – Reviewed Apr 4, 2013
Interview Details –
Initial contact was made through HSBC website. Within a couple weeks I was emailed by a recruiter. This individual wasn't the brightest and gave me a VERY narrow window to interview. I nearly couldn't make it and they seemed like they would pass me over rather quickly.
The recruiter did give me a window of salary so I knew going in where I could negotiate. At the interview was my line manager, their manager, and the area manager. It was a lengthy interview uncovering a very detailed background about me and the role itself.
Be prepared to speak intelligently about your background and how it applies to the role in specific detail. Important to fight for your prowess as a good fit.
Interview Question – No one particular question, but a barrage of detailed questions regarding the roles specifics and even asking how I would handle a specific situation. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – They offered me at the low end of the spectrum, I countered slightly higher and they agreed.
