What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?
Mention interesting things about yourself because the interviews will base heavily on your CV/application form. There are always chances for you to elaborate on your experiences during the interviews.
Some teams travel a lot so if you like travelling do mention that.
Do you have any interview tips?
There are generally 3 stages:
1) Test
2) Interviews (multiple)
3) Assessment Centre
1) Test: brush up your Excel skill and financial knowledge
2) You will be interviewed by both Investment Banking and Investment Management managers so make sure you show a good knowledge on both areas. If you are recruited you will eventually be placed in one of the two teams and will not swap.
3) I had to do a self-prepared presentation during assessment centre so make sure you are comfortable with public speaking. During the New Hire training we are also expected to give group presentations every week.
Apart from presentation, the assessment centre also consists of group discussions and chances to speak with various employees.
I really enjoyed the assessment day because it wasn't merely an event for FactSet to know more about about me, but the day also includes activities that allow me to know more about the company.
