If you’re applying for a job at HSBC in Hong Kong, it’s a good idea to get to grips with the type of interview questions you might potentially be asked. To give you a head start, we went through some of the HSBC interview questions that Hong Kong-based applicants have posted online (mainly via Glassdoor) over the past three years. We filtered out obvious ones (e.g. “tell me about yourself”) and technical ones that only apply to niche jobs. Then we grouped them into the six categories below.
Many of the HSBC interview questions were supplied by front-office candidates for analyst and associate jobs, so they will be particularly relevant if you’re looking for work at a junior level. While it’s impossible to second guess exactly what you’ll be asked, the questions below should help you prepare for some of the broad themes you’ll likely to encounter at your interview.
