Moody's interview questions

The interview was quite standard, no complex question. Just few financial terminologies, formulae, Financial Market questions and your experience questions. Then there was a presentation round followed by some excel questions. The VP asked some technical question related to BETA of a stock and its relevance. Ex- If beta of a stock is 1, what does this mean and how will the stock follow if the market moves up and down. Secondly, he asked about some trading & Transaction comps. questions like what is the difference between Minority Interest and Subsidiary & Associates. Where would you show Minority interest in Balance sheet. What is the amortization and how is it different from Depreciation.

Phone and face interview. Technical is important. Prior experience will be good demonstration. You need to show case your knowledge and experience as much as possible as you need to be very hands-on. The company is competitive. The market competition is keen. Only those with strong background and confidence will fit. You might also need to present and answer impromptu questions well.
