Please describe the interview / hiring process.
I started by reaching out to the bulge brackets in August of 2015. I flew up to NYC as much as I could to get face time and did as many phone calls with people at the firm as I could. After meeting with about 20 different people I had a phone interview for Structured Finance in December as well as Generalist Investment Banking. I then was invited to 2 different super days at BAML for these.
For Generalist IB it was 3 different interviews. 1v1 with an associate. He asked me to walk through my resume and did a few technicals, finding enterprise value to be specific. My next interview with a 2v1 interview with 2 vp's. They asked a ton of technical questions and asked me about the pharma industry which I didn't know about. Then my third was with an MD who just wanted to chat about where I go to school. Completely a behavioral interview.

Structured Finance interviews were the same set up expect every interview was a behavioral and fit interview. No technicals.
