Technical Behavioral
The interview process was smooth and eye-opening. I had a good interviewer and overall it was a smooth process. The technical questions were challenging, but the follow-up questions were succinct and flowed logically from one to another. At the end, there was a good opportunity to ask questions about the firm culture and work-life balance.

The process was pretty chill, HR just emailed me to set up a time. Then I had a Zoom chat with someone from the operations team. It was super quick since I'm mostly doing front desk stuff, and we both knew that.
