“Do I have any chance of getting shortlisted by YES Bank?” I nervously asked my senior who had also done his internship with a bank. “Don’t think about things which are beyond your control. Just give it your best”, he replied in an assuring tone. I came back to my room and started to wait for the shortlist. Luckily enough, I was shortlisted. I was very happy and started to prepare for the D-Day. I read about all the major macroeconomic news, recent M&As, some important rates and most importantly about YES Bank as much as I could. Finally, the day arrived and I was the first candidate to be interviewed. Being the first candidate, I had no idea about the general format the interview was going to follow and soon enough I learnt that it did not follow the path of a ‘Typical Interview”. The first question that was asked after greetings was – “So, Ankur, Tell us something about your family.” I was slightly taken aback with the crammed up answer to “Tell me about yourself” still choked up in my throat. However, being from a joint family, I had many things to tell them and quickly did so. After that, a plethora of questions followed and not a single one of them asked for facts. Rather they all were aimed at judging my acumen of the banking industry. Having worked in a leading PSB, I was expecting such questions but the depth was something I did not expect. Apart from one or two minor mistakes, the interview went very good and I was confident that I would make it. Soon enough, I got the good news and the wait to join the esteemed organization began.

Time: April 2018

After a long wait of 6 months, finally, the day arrived. 2nd April 2018 – the date is going to be permanently etched in my heart. I went to India Bulls Finance Centre where Corporate Office was situated. I was smoothly inducted into the organization on the very first day. After the onboarding, I was instructed to meet my mentor who headed the Wealth Management Department. He is one of the finest gentlemen I’ve ever met. He introduced me to the entire team – the same team whom I miss badly as I write this article. The next two months just seemed to fly with these wonderful colleagues. The learning was also immense.
