Investment Banking Summer Analyst

Initially contacted by HR department on a Friday to set up on campus interview for the following Monday. The time and date for the interview were preselected. The first round interview included fit and a little bit of technical questions. BMO CM sent 2 bankers to interview, 1 analyst and 1 VP. The bankers appeared to be more on the professional side (as opposed to casual) compared to other bankers I've spoken with.

This was my first IB interview, so I can only speak to limited experience. The 2 biggest things I would recommend to other candidates are:
1. to prepare and rehearse yourstory - writing out and rehearsing my story more thoroughly to create an effective personal pitch would have helped me sell myself
2. to think of positive, creative spins on your negative experiences/traits and show how you learned/grew
