I've been on many interviews and I can attest that i've been asked ALL of these questions at some point in my career. Good stuff!

[@TheFinancialController]

Thanks!

I am from Bangladesh. I do spend 1 hour everyday in order to learn from your videos and found them very helpful. Will be with u for gaining knowledge for sure.

[@amarekefyalew4385]

You are a good professional to support both job seekers and hiring managers to professionally assess the behavioral and competency of prospective candidates for the accounting and financial roles. Good job sir!

[@alex20776a]

Last one was 90 minutes long with a senior finance manager for a large bank. He was tough but fair, we went through in detail my whole resume and he made finance and accounting questions in between to see how i managed. He didn't know me, but he knew my job, so he went to ask me in depth questions about it. Overall, my answers were good, not perfect, but good enough he knew my resume wasn't BS. If you really want the job, you better PREPARE it, you need to differentiate yourself from others candidates (and competition is very tough).

[@TheFinancialController]

Thanks for your input here Alex🍻

[@timbit827]

Very helpful. I have a financial analyst intern interview tomorrow. This video helped me think of some answers to questions

[@sergio6971]

I’m learning about business assessment and finance because I’ve recently started to invest. This video and the previous one on 5 Analyst Questions go well beyond the analyst profession. You very thoroughly present key characteristics needed in virtually any and every profession where teamwork is critical. Your straightforward approach is not only refreshing but impressive. Thank you.

[@TheFinancialController]

Thanks brother!

[@sallyho146]

I love #5. Good job how you handled it. I wish I find a career mentor like you.

[@IbrahimKhan-xf9mg]

Thanks Bill, I forwarded your videos to my friend and he cracked the interview and got the job.. Happy for your detail information and I am still looking for the job as I haven't got any interview call yet.

[@TheFinancialController]

So awesome, best of luck!

[@aceanyconcept337]

These questions also show that being a financial analyst is more suited to extroverts like you said in another video. As an introvert, I can tell this just by looking at these questions, as they are no easy scenarios, when you tend to avoid conflicts and can't work well in high-stress situations. The real challenge is finding opportunities that are ideal for introverts and they are limited.

[@ceus1001]

How do these questions show that extroverts are better suited? To me it’s mostly about self-confidence and growth nothing about extroversion vs introversion is on display here.

[@shaznewa752]

Exactly my question. I think analyst is an ambivert role even extroverts can thrive and introverts also depending on u company working style

[@edadhroso7693]

I have a job interview this week,this advise are very helpful!

[@WisdomGrowthProsperity]

I just came across this video and I'm so excited about my upcoming financial analyst interview this week.

[@abdulgafur4337]

This very good. Thank you and yes it’s true these questions generally always come up. Thinking in advance and planning ahead means I will have answers ready instead of last minute made or unpleasant answers. Thank you

[@AnkitKshatriya]

These examples are really helpful. It would be great if you can make videos on more behavioral questions with examples.

[@TheFinancialController]

Will do thanks 🙏

[@istheresomethingdelicious9604]

Really helpful video! Very practical, common but reasonable answers to the questions. Thanks a lot!

[@fabiomiranda1511]

10 years have passed since graduating with a focus in finance without going into the industry. Any advice on the first steps to get into the financial analyst space?

[@PinayAko3760]

I should have look in YT and listen to this before I had my interview last month...these question were asked of me. Unfortunately, I did not get the job.

[@TheFinancialController]

Sorry to hear that! I am sure you will nail the next one!

[@chuck3455]

Sounds like youre taking the right steps to prepare yourself for the next one though! :)

[@serga7486]

The fact that interviewers actually think like this is insane. But it’s easier to work in an office than in a field so I guess this would be expected

[@hiulaicheng3781]

i am seeking for the financial analyst position opportunities, thanks for sharing these ideas

[@gavp5248]

Would you say there is a good work-life balance as a financial analyst? I'm a qualified accountant (ACA), though I was out of the market for a number of years to work as a broker, since then, I've come back to a management accountant role and actually find handling and analyzing data and learning how the business works the most enjoyable parts of my role so I applied for financial analyst roles.

[@TheFinancialController]

Yes decent work life balance but it goes down as you climb the ladder to higher roles but not too bad

[@saram.4617]

This is good, but these applies to all interviews.. I was expecting (financial analyst) related questions, something customized to FA. Thanks anyways

[@keishrich]

In my opinion question number one is irrelevant. In an interview setting I think it's being asked by the interviewer to gaslight the interviewee.
