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.

Behavioral Technical
Had 2 initial interviews. The first one went really well, with about 10 minutes dedicated to behavioral questions, 15 minutes to technical questions, and then 5 minutes for me to ask questions. The second interviewer, however, was quite rude and unprofessional. They showed up 15 minutes late and then ended the interview a full 15 minutes early, not giving me any chance to ask questions.
