Background Check
Interview
Consisted of two phone interviews. Final round was an option between a phone or in person interview with analyst.
Interview Questions
Most difficult part of the interview definitely came during the final round. The first two phone calls were basically fit questions and trying to figure out your personality. The final round with the analyst felt like a rapid fire interview where they would try to catch you off guard. Mainly most of the questions consisted of macroeconomic data and basic fundamentals of numerous asset classes. After that it typically turned into a conversation where it was a lot more relaxing and open to asking your own questions.
