The interview process was smooth. There were 2 rounds in total, with the second round being the final one. Everyone I interacted with was very nice, and it seems like a great place to work. The work mainly involves equity raises on public markets for small-cap stocks, with not much M&A activity.

So after an initial phone screen, there were two in-person interviews. It was pretty informal, mostly basic personality questions. They asked about my experience at my last job and how it would fit this role.

Technical Behavioral

It was a standard banking process, multiple rounds, including technical aspects. While there wasn't a dedicated technical interview, questions were integrated into each interview, surprisingly with mostly senior bankers. It seems like a strong team with good culture. The pay was below most peers.
