Question 1
what is the biggest opportunity and threat in HSBC commercial banking right now
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at HSBC (London, England) in Nov 2024
Interview
Fairly easy process, although I messed it up. They give the advice to know who you are and how it aligns with your experience, which is really useful for their process. As it's a fairly soft-skilled-oriented interview, I'd recommend really listening to the questions and answering as well as you can. I'd also recommend looking at the company's 10-K and any content available online about the commercial line.
