Ensure that you've done your homework beforehand and can speak confidently about State Bank's history, mission, and products. Interviewers can easily see if you've done adequate research and preparation before the interview or if you know next to nothing about the company. Make sure you become familiar with State Bank's website and secondary sources that provide helpful information on the company. In addition, if you're already connected to an employee of State Street, reach out before the interview to have a quick coffee chat about their role and experience with State Street. You don't need to be an expert, but you should be well-versed in State Street's products and services and what will be required of you in this role.

"I understand that you're one of the largest managers of institutional investments in the world with over 3 trillion AUM. My professional background revolves around managing securities for institutional asset owners, which aligns well with the buy-side work that you do here. One of the aspects of State Street that I've been drawn to for quite some time is the emphasis you've placed on sustainability and ESG principles in your products and services over the years. As this is an interest of mine professionally, I've reviewed your most recent ESG report and was quite impressed by the findings."
