Senior principal consultant Interview Questions

questions related to technical skills which candidate would have

Some technical questions related to Oracle, PL/SQL

Questions were very basic if you are from a FSI background - What is trade, What is trade lifecycle, What is a clearing agent, What is a transfer agent, what is CCAR ( I had banking experience too), What is Basel etc. ....( I feel these are very basic questions and are probably good for hiring an analyst). I was also asked some management consulting type questions (market entry, supply chain optimization etc.) which again I don't understand the rationale for asking if you are hiring for a FSI practice. The questions were dumb in my opinion.

Based on the roles you apply for, it would be usually generic question. It actually depends on the panel

Domain related questions

The most difficult & expected question asked during Management round. Which was in regard to justify my reason for change.

Database Internals and Security related like Managing DB vaults and implementation , TDE implementation and configuratuions , HA based strategies and Solutions engineering . Performance tuning expertise
