Behavioral Technical

After applying, I heard back about two weeks later. The process wasn't super clear. Typically, they ask you regular behavioral questions about yourself and why you're interested in the company, but you have to answer pretty quickly, so it’s good to practice.

Behavioral Technical

The interview process was difficult. The interviewer seemed uninterested and disengaged during the behavioral questions, making it hard to have a conversation. I felt like I wasn't being seriously considered, even though I asked questions about their role and how they transitioned into investing from a background similar to mine.
