What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?

Be yourself - whilst it sounds corny, the recruitment process at HSBC is not designed to find the best 'bankers' with sound technical and industry knowledge. Instead, HSBC look to employ the right kind of person to join the Bank in line with its core values of being Open, Dependable and Connected; this values can only be displayed if you act openly and honestly throughout the application process.
Understand the schemes - each of the graduate programmes offered by HSBC is different, and whilst they may overlap with other schemes, their overall purpose is different in terms of the skills and development they inculcate in trainees. Make sure you fully understand which scheme is right for you.
Ask yourself what you want - HSBC will not pay you the highest salary on the market. If money is your driver, you are better off applying elsewhere. But it will provide you with unparalleled opportunities, if you are willing to make the most of them.

Do you have any interview tips?

It would not be fair to provide full answers to the assessment centre questions. However, it is important to keep in mind, technical knowledge is not the focus of the interview - it is about understanding the values that you as an individual hold, and the ways in which you work as an individual and with others.
