Portfolio Manager Interview Questions

I stated a range.

sounds like a straight forward generic question, but you must give the answer some serious and genuine consideration. Conviction, values, and passion are essential. There is no right answer.

" - I worked for several years at DRDC, why the question? - Several of our employees are not willing to go there." (Never been ... they are not working with the government anymore, or very little.)

I'm a former scientist that went to numerous conferences presenting my work, a contractor for several years that had to sell my expertise to clients, and reported to high-ranking officers daily. I'm good.

I am currently a CFA level three candidate and have been in asset management for a few years. One of the reasons for me to apply for this role is to eventually become a portfolio manager one day to manage money. Their answer was horrible. They said it's not possible in their office and they want the candidate to be on this role for ever for their rest of lives. Then they asked me what I say after I know this situation...... A few days later, they canceled this position and changed it to portfolio management associate(sales support)

I have 25+ years of international experience mostly in management positions and am in my early 50's. So I would say I have a rather large assorted examples of situations to answer situational questions.
