IBD Summer Analyst
General Interview Information
Interview Details
2) After meeting at 2-3 events, an analyst really began to gun for me and invited me to all of their invite-only events.
3) Attendance was key. I was told that you had to attend every single event to secure even a chance at an interview as attendance was a bit weeder for them.
4) I reached out and had coffee chats with more analysts, most of whom said they'd vouch for me.
5) Finally the interview was a 30 minute 1 on 1 event. I was asked a 50/50 of fit and technicals. The majority of the interview was spent on the "usual" questions. However, they tried to stump you from time and time and I was even asked a brainteaser.
6) I haven't heard back yet so honestly I'm assuming I got no offer. Fairly disappointed.
General Tip: What I did wrong (in my opinion) was that I wasn't articulate in my interview. I jumped around in my answers and wasn't clear with my point. It was my first interview so perhaps I was nervous. I'd highly recommend relaxing and doing mocks until answering these questions is like second nature.
