Behavioral Case Presentation
After a recruiter call, I was invited for a 1.5-day onsite interview loop. This involved speaking with about 10 people. About 60% of the interviews were video calls, which was a new experience for me. They provided lunch on both days. The process concluded with a case study analyzing an investment team's decision-making and use of a proprietary tool, followed by a short call with a client services representative to discuss the client service process.
