The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Stifel Financial (Baltimore, MD) in Sep 2009
Interview
This was a campus recruiting effort on the part of Stifel. I interviewed with a MD from Baltimore. He was pretty disinterested and was among my worst interviews. Their presentation a few nights earlier was among the least interesting and prepared I've seen. Perhaps the representatives they sent were not a true picture of the people there.
The moment I knew I wasn't going to make it to the next round is when he cornered me on where I really wanted to work: Bulge Bracket in NY or Middle Market. Be prepared to answer this question. They asked it to everyone of my peers.
