Yes
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BNP Paribas
For the spring insight, they dont expect u to have loads of experience so dont worry about that. Make sure ur CV is formatted well because BNPP doesnt use AI for CVs and the HR team actually goes through them. Practice for the switch test if u can on job test prep since it’s kinda unique and most people wouldnt have done smth like that before. The interview is pretty chill, need not worry about that.
