Can you tell me about yourself and why you are interested in Bank of America’s Global Markets programme?
I am a final-year student with a strong academic background in finance and economics, complemented by hands-on experience in both quantitative research and financial analysis. Over the past few years, I have developed a deep interest in how global markets function, how macroeconomic trends shape asset prices, and how financial institutions provide liquidity, manage risk, and create innovative products for clients. My experiences in internships and case competitions have sharpened my skills in data analysis, critical thinking, and teamwork, all of which I believe are directly relevant to this program. I am particularly drawn to Bank of America’s Global Markets Securities Product business because of its strong reputation for client-centric innovation, robust risk management culture, and ability to connect issuers and investors globally. I admire how BofA integrates its research insights with trading and execution capabilities, providing clients with a full suite of solutions across fixed income, equities, and structured products. For someone like me, who enjoys analyzing complex problems and delivering clear, actionable insights, this program offers the perfect environment to grow. Ultimately, I am motivated by the chance to contribute to a fast-paced, intellectually challenging environment where markets evolve by the minute. Joining Bank of America would not only allow me to build strong technical expertise in securities products but also help me develop into a trusted advisor for clients, aligning my long-term goal of shaping a career at the intersection of markets, analytics, and client solutions.

Rehearse a client-needs example: how you identified what a client wanted and turned it into a solution, with the outcome.
Practise data storytelling by describing a time you used numbers to make a case, stating the analysis and the decision it supported.
For audit applications, prepare the traits you think auditors need and a story that shows you demonstrating them.
Have a decision-with-limited-data example ready, and explain the reasoning and trade-offs behind the call you made.
Record yourself answering two minutes at a time, and check that each answer has a clear beginning, middle and end.
Questions candidates ask

Our Bank of America packs include questions such as 'Can you tell me about yourself and why you are interested in Bank of America's Global Markets programme?', 'Describe a time when you used your understanding of a client's needs to identify a solution' and 'Describe a time you made a critical decision quickly with limited data without superior guidance.'

How should I structure my answers for Bank of America video interviews?
