Candidate-reported interview process
Met with the finance team about the role. It was a pretty standard interview where they wanted to know about my background and how it fit the job. They said I should use more technical terms and talk more about fund structuring.
The interview process was quite lengthy and demanding, which they use to ensure they hire top-tier employees. The interviewers were truly some of the best individuals you could encounter!
I was invited to interview for a summer associate role while I was an MBA student. We had three interviews on campus, and one of them was with HR. Two of the three interviews were case interviews.
