Behavioral
The interview process was pretty quick and smooth from when the recruiter first reached out to the interview itself. It was mainly behavioral questions, so looking up some common ones would be a good idea for preparation. There weren't a ton of resources to prep with, so networking might be important.

Technical Behavioral
the interview was okay, not super tricky, but mostly followed the general IB hiring process. It was a good experience talking to the team. After CV screening, there was one first round, and then a superday with technical rounds and conversations with senior people. Finally, an offer call.

Behavioral Technical Coding
It started with a quick 10-minute phone screen, then there was a remote interview that lasted an hour. This remote interview was split into two parts: 30 minutes for behavioral questions and 30 minutes for technical questions, both with the team. After that, I had to complete a take-home assignment, but unfortunately, I didn't get the offer.
