The interview was behavioral focused and they really dug into my motivations and future ambitions. I was first contacted by HR via email, then had a phone interview, and finally met with 3 people for the last interview: the MD and 2 EDs, who I met separately and then all together.

Behavioral Technical
I got the job through applying at my university and then went to the New York office to interview with the team. I met with an analyst, an associate, and a VP. The interview questions were more focused on learning about my background from my resume and getting a feel for me as a person. It felt like they were more interested in whether I would be a good fit for the team for the summer rather than testing my knowledge of the field. There were only a couple of simple technical questions. They want to know what's happening in the market currently.
