Entry Level Financial Analyst Interview Questions insight, interview, behavioral, everyone, internet

Palantir

Hi everyone,
I will interview for an entry level FA position. I searched on the internet, people were saying that mostly behavioral questions are asked.
What kind of questions should I expect? I would appreciate your insight.
Thanks!

The problem with HR is that many of them are not trained properly to understand a CV, especially the technical parts of it.  Many use buzzwords when they scan it.
I believe HR is useful to filter out the unqualified candidates, but not necessarily good at sending the most qualified ones on the hiring manager’s desk.

Behavioral questions are excuses to keep more HR staff employed.

^ Agreed.
That’s why you have to avoid HR and get to the hiring manager.  The interview will be more technical.  That’s where networking becomes important.

Can you find the internets?
Can you read good and do other stuff good too?

should expect some corporate finance, accounting questions - tailored to the industry
You are a L2/L3’er, right? you should be just fine on the technicals
also know your resume inside out and research the co. - sounds rudimentary but sometimes overlooked
good luck!
