The interview process
Described in candidates’ own words.
“The interview was for two positions, Equity Research and Macro Research, with the heads of each area. The interview was in person at the bank's headquarters at the time.”Candidate-reported process
“So there were 4 rounds for this position. First, an HR call, then talking with Business people and peers, and finally a Director interview. Make sure you are prepared for DCF valuation models and business model analysis. You also need to be very familiar with financial reports and able to explain the relationship between them.”Candidate-reported process
“HR reached out fast and was prompt, but my response after rejection was slow. Overall, it was a pretty good experience with a fast turnaround between interview stages, and the HR team was really responsive. It kicked off with a phone interview, and then there were a few rounds of in-person interviews. The questions they asked were typical for this industry.”Candidate-reported processMore reports lockedRead 300+ more interview experiences
