Behavioral Technical Case

It was 3 rounds total. The first round was mostly behavioral with some technical questions, and I spoke with one person. The second round was heavily focused on markets and involved two people. The final round was primarily behavioral, and I met with the MD. They asked a lot of questions about markets, so make sure you have questions prepared for them.

The interview process had 3 rounds. The first two were a mix of technical and behavioral questions with an analyst or associate. The superday involved interviews with 3 Managing Directors and was primarily behavioral. All interviews were conducted via Zoom, and the firm's team was really friendly and supportive.

Behavioral

Had a quick call with the recruiter, they didn't share much about the job. Then, I interviewed with someone who wasn't the hiring manager, and I'm not sure what their role was. It seemed like they were some sort of marketing consultant, that lasted about half an hour. I followed up with the recruiter but didn't hear back. They had to leave the call early for another meeting.
