Technical Behavioral Case
My interview journey had three stages. First, there was a technical screen mixed with some investing/IB questions and behaviorals. Then, a 24-hour case study where I was given a case/stock to prep for, followed by an intense grilling. Finally, a behavioral interview.

Technical Behavioral
It was a pretty standard interview process overall. There were a few technical questions, though one was a bit unusual, asking how to determine if leadership is beneficial for a company. The interviewer was quite friendly and nice, and the turnaround time was quick.

Behavioral Technical Case
The interview process is 4 rounds long. It starts with a behavioral chat with HR, followed by a round with questions and a case study. The final round involves more questions, and they get progressively harder. Expect a lot of brain teaser questions. Despite the challenges, everyone was really nice and helpful.
