I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Standard Chartered Bank (Singapore)
Interview
The interviewer/ VP forgot the scheduled interview. After the HR spending 20 mins to reach him, it changed from online to phone call. Over the call, his accent (IN) with the loud wind noise making it hard to hear his questions, as he was in yacht enjoying his holiday. The interview lasted barely 5 minutes and felt rushed and unprofessional. A very disappointing experience.
The interview process consisted of three rounds, with two interviewers in each round. Candidates had the option to choose between in-person and virtual interviews. Each round focused on a mix of technical questions, deal experience discussions, and behavioral assessment.
I interviewed at Standard Chartered Bank (Singapore)
Interview
Teams meeting for each round with the hiring managers were setup by HR personnel based offshore who was quick to respond via email. Interviews were conducted efficiently and to the point.
I applied online. I interviewed at Standard Chartered Bank (Sydney) in Sept 2025
Interview
First round with the Hiring Manager & team, mostly about experience in relationship management. Second round with senior bankers from other product areas, essentially the same interview as the previous round. Third round with the Head of Department and HR, again an unstructured conversation with some Q&A. They ended up with an internal candidate after all this.

Question 1
Was asked why I left one bank for another - never had that one before or since.
