Behavioral Technical Case Presentation

Had 4 interviews total with a chairman council team, they manage Assets > $1.7 Billion. I was interviewed for an analyst role. The first interview was with HR. Second, I met with the Advisor to discuss fit, market outlook, asked some technical questions, and needed 3-4 stock pitches. Third, it was an in-person presentation with a model to the Investment Committee, following a case study given on a Friday evening around 6pm. The presentation was held on Wednesday morning at 10am. They wanted 2 stock pitches for replacement this time, not just one. This interview was 2 hours long and included some risk management questions. Fourth, the Advisor and PM asked me to research a larger peer competitor, which I did and sent them all the background info and research stuff, making sense of it.

the interviewer was amazing, and it was an enjoyable experience. It was a 30 minutes long interview but it felt shorter because I was made comfortable by the interviewer. Questions are simple and there is 2 times interview, and then another one when we are about to enter a team.
