Analyst
General Interview Information
Interview Details
Had an initial phone interview with an analyst and associate. Was aimed at being much more behavioral (tell me about yourself, why banking....) but after I brought up that I like modeling they started drilling me with technicals and kept pushing them (They told me they did this to me on the phone interview because I was doing very well on them).
A few days later they invited me to schedule a on-site (they were going to have a few different super-days).
Went to their office and the interview was with the analyst and associate i had the phone interview with as well as an MD. Again it was both behavioral and technical, they drilled me on the technicals again.
I would guess that most other candidates didn't get drilled on the technicals as hard as I did because they wanted to bring me to help with the modeling when their associate who mainly does that is out. Some of the other candidates they wanted to bring in were for other purposes and with different backgrounds probably aimed more for research roles as this is not a modeling heavy firm. A lot of listening and giving VC pitches instead.
Got the offer maybe 2 weeks after that final interview
