They would try to generalize your view and try complicating the situation, In the end they gave me a hypothetical company with all the qualities Nomura has and is better than it and asked whether I would move to it? I said YES!My CGPA was 7.8 and it is considered as less but I have been improving from 1st sem and shown this as how adaptable I have become over a period of time- So prepare for everything; Know your weakness and have valid reasons for itThey expect some Finance in your resume and grill u on that; Resume preparation is a MUST!- It should be explained in IB perspective .
