I made it all the way through power day but didn’t get the job. I was coming to the interview with no banking experience, with digital product manager experience, and with no business side financial experience. Ultimately it was the latter that hurt me. Be strongly prepared to crunch numbers live in the call. Ultimately, however, it wasn’t a completely negative experience as everyone I connected with was kind. I just didn’t have the experience needed to excel in the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Easy questions included past experiences (1 full hr.) harder questions were to conduct break even analyses for various real world examples.
4 brutal hours of prep just for no feedback at the end. Interviewers were nice, but the business cases are nothing like the prep material. Data is given, and you need to be able to make calculations from that. Product Design over the grocery store case. The resume round was chill.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Oct 2025
Interview
The first case interview went well and was not too hard (after doing a bunch of prep / reviewing the different products and practicing a few cases). The power day I thought went okay but the math tripped me up a bit.
