Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They want to know your motivation. Why do you think you are fit. How do you handle tough situations. For the case study, you'd better go through all the case and consider every aspects of the case cuz they are gonna push you till you find the right answer.
I went through 2 rounds of interviews before deciding myself not to move on after the second. The first one was a standard behavioral one, recorded before a screen (might've changed due to the pandemic). The second one consisted of two parts: the first a role play, where I was assigned a case and asked to look for industry experts to answer a question for a made-up client, the second a standard behavioral interview.
