I applied online. I interviewed at IBS Intelligence (London, England) in Apr 2018
Interview
I went there for the job of junior Fintech Reporter thinking this was, as it said, a leading publisher in the field of fintech....
Got to their offices in King's Cross...three chairs, two tables, two computers.... nothing there looked fit for a 'leading' publication.
The team was composed of two guys that have really curious titles. In a team of two there's a SENIOR editor and a Senior fintech reporter (that's 22!)
The cherry on top was that they don't actually cover fintech, but the businesses that sell some kind of tech to banks.... so you cover sales, not technology!
