What were the most difficult or unexpected interview questions asked?:
There were no really any difficult questions that were asked. They were mostly just based on my own work experiences and extracurricular activities. With whatever you said, they made sure to ask a number of follow up questions to ensure you are telling the truth and that you arent just over exaggerating.
They also asked a lot of questions during the case study but that was in regards to what portfolio you were making and what products you were pitching. Questions included what returns can the client expect?, what would you say if the client wanted 20% returns? etc

How did you answer each of these questions (please be specific)?:
Behavioural questions: These were rather straight forward however i would say that you should know your own experiences well. They will keep digging and asking you follow up questions about the activities and experiences on your resume. Be sure to also understand your own strengths and weaknesses and situations you displayed these.
During the case study you basically answer questions based on your thought process. Answering a question about what return you can expect is highly dependent on what kind of portfolio you designed.
