I was approached by an agent, followed by a phone interview with HR.

After that, there was an online test on HackerRank, which was a total waste of time. HR had mentioned it would take up to 8 hours. I raised this concern with the agent and was told it was an error, and it should only take around 2 hours, pushing me to complete it within a day or two.

I was too naive and believed them, taking the test. It turned out it truly was meant to take 8 hours. It took me over 5 hours to complete the first two challenges and partially the last one, by which time it was midnight.

It doesn't matter whether I get an offer. What matters is the feedback I receive after the interview. In this case, the feedback was nothing but that the code quality was not good. If I had been told the correct information, I would not have bothered wasting my time on that abusive test at all.

Why do you want to get into the financial field?

Why are you considering leaving your current role?

What do you expect from the new team?
