The conversation consisted mostly of basic, high-level screening questions, such as: “Tell me about yourself.” “Why are you looking for a new opportunity?” “Which of the three roles are you most interested in and why?” “What types of teams have you led, and how large were they?” “Why did you leave your most recent role?” “Are you currently based in Hong Kong?” “Would you need a work visa?” “What are your salary expectations?” “Have you worked in banking before?” There were no role-specific, competency-based, or scenario-based questions asked, which further contributed to the sense that this was a check-the-box interview, not a strategic assessment of fit.
