Presentation Technical
After passing the resume screen, I had a phone interview with 2 senior people. Then I was invited to an onsite interview which went from 6 am to 2 pm. The hardest part was being given a lot of information on 2 companies and then asked to prepare a stock pitch on the spot.

Behavioral Technical
First, I had to send in a statement of interest, a research paper, and my CV. The next step was an interview with the head recruiter and the Boston team. The interview itself seemed to go okay, but the whole process felt really disorganized. The interviewer was an hour late and made me wait. The feedback they gave me, while meant to be helpful, didn't really make sense. Even though I was really keen to work there, it didn't seem to matter. My advice is, don't bother applying unless you have a finance degree. They might say they consider all backgrounds, but in the end, they'll go for the finance major.

Behavioral Technical Coding
So there were two phone rounds first, one with HR where they asked me some easy behavioral questions, and then another with an analyst which was totally technical. After that, I had to go into the office for a modeling test. They gave me some 10Ks and 10Qs and I had four hours to build a three-statement model. It was a lot of info, pretty overwhelming.

- Tell me about the modeling test that took place in the office.
