The interviewers were professional and encouraging, creating an environment where I could confidently showcase my expertise and approach to managing client portfolios. Overall, it was an excellent experience that provided valuable insight into the firm's priorities and culture.
Superday with 3 members of the team. Some more technical than others. Asked general market questions and checked my understanding of different asset classes. Behaviorals were straight forward and what is typically seen across the street
Elaborative, long, very situation-based and case-based. Ask random questions to test your mental ability and presence of mind. However, they were very kind and patient with your answers. Always write a thank-you email.
