Some other generic questions were also asked
- Where do you live ?
- How do you plan to commute ?
- Who all are there in your family ?
- Are you married ?
After the above 3 rounds, there was an online test sent on the email id from Saxo bank. There were 2 tests inside it.
One was a generic one where there will be 4 options and you have to select your response out of the 4 options. It was like to know how you react in certain situations. No time limit for this test.
Second one was more of an aptitude test. Time limit was 30 minutes and around 30 questions. Questions were like 6 figures drawn you have to find the odd one out. There are 4 workers doing a job, if 2 will do how much time will it take. Some questions like this were not having options. 2 trains are moving in opposite direction, when they will cross.
There were no options on the questions, you have to calculate and fill the text box. You cannot even go back on the previous questions once you answered.

I was able to clear all and got the offer letter. HR and other people were nice at Saxo Bank

How do you tackle all those Manager Round Questions, could you please guide how to give answer to these question.
Hey Himanshu
Thanks for putting your question.
Mostly manager rounds are non-technical, some manager do ask technical question as well.
Never ever loose hope. for example :- you are asked a puzzle, ad you know you don’t know the answer,, show that you are trying,,
Keep on preparing for generic questions like , how will you handle a conflict with senior and what if now its junior ?
What are short/long term goals ?
What if you have to extend ?
So once you start asking these questions to yourself, you will be able to find the best answers to these.
Be confident and document some of your experiences in evernote/onenote like apps so whenever you go to interview you can remember them and use them.
Hope you have subscribed to youtube channel as well apart from email subscription to keep updated.
What’s the youtube channel name gaurav, i am eager to know how to tackle those questions related to salary.
