Behavioral Technical Case
The first round involved two 30-minute sessions with VPs from the credit team. We discussed my resume and past deals. Unfortunately, I was rejected after this first round. I heard there's supposed to be another round with a case study and then a final interview with team MDs. I didn't really click with the interviewer, which might be why it didn't work out.

I had a good first chat with a recruiter at General Atlantic about the Product Manager job. We talked about the role, the team, and my experience. They said there would be more steps and I gave them my availability. Sadly, I never heard back even after following up. I know things can change, but it was a bummer not to get any closure. Just wanted to share so others know what to expect - good communication, even if plans change, really matters.

I applied on GA's website for a role in Mexico. I had an interview with an RH employee from the NY office who asked general questions about my past experiences and why I applied to GA. The next interview was with a member of the Mexico team who asked more technical questions and a lot about the deals GA had made in the country.
