I applied online. I interviewed at BlackRock (London, England) in Jan 2026
Interview
3 x 30 min interviews on Zoom, all one on one, the first one was very situational, tell me about a time etc. The second one was similar but using specifically my CV. And then the last was an associate talking about his job, and wanted me to stop him and ask him any questions on anything he found interesting, and then I told him about myself and he asked questions about that (like follow up ones).

Question 1
Describe a time where you made a mistake, what did you learn from it?
Pretty simple, just the basic fit and motivation questions, like why blackrock, why the division, team situations - conflict, good times, data to solve problem, and commercial awareness questions asking whats going on in the markets and a piece of news you found interesting.
