all the banking (Front Office development) roles ive been for are generally 2 stages: (1) tech test / interview (2) Business / Product knowledge interview.
Thats it and tbh all you need. For my latest I had stage 1 in the morning and stage 2 after work the same day, you will understand if the person can or cant do the job based on the above 2 + their past roles.Comment

In general a contract role should only have one interview. A telephone interview beforehand is fine, but two or more separate face-to-face meetings should ring alarm bells.
Multiple interviews mean they want to treat you like a permie, or management don't trust their team leads to pick a good contractor. Multiple interviews goes against the whole ethos of contracting: contractors should be easy to hire and easy to fire. That's what clients pay for!Cats are evil.Comment

For me, the interview is a place for me to discuss the client's requirements and for me to make a pitch for how MyCo can work with them to deliver what they want.Free advice and opinions - refunds are available if you are not 100% satisfied.Comment
