The interview was very intensive since everybody in Alcazar is very busy. They don't bother asking useless questions or making jokes.
Types of questions:
- Why you? Why us?
- Financial Technique
- Brain Teaser
If you are good and fluent enough to answer all the quick Q&As, there will be a case study about financial modelling. This one is not easy. Well, that's where you differentiate yourself from the rest.
Good Luck!
Candidatei-me por meio de uma faculdade ou universidade. O processo levou 5 dias. Fui entrevistado pela Alcazar Capital (Chennai) em mar. de 2012
Entrevista
There were two interviews. The first was a brainteaser, puzzles, HR and an estimation problem. They are looking at people who can think on their toes, have the presence of mind not to make silly mistakes and have good motivation to take up this post. With a decent grasp of mathematics, this interview should be a breeze.
The second interview was a case study and was conducted by the partner of the firm. Communication skills, structured thought, logical reasoning, quick mathematical skills and confidence were tested thoroughly in this interview.
