Please describe the interview / hiring process.
The hiring process at this firm was well-structured, professional, and seamless. It began with an initial phone screening, which functioned as a first-round interview. This call primarily focused on my background, motivation for the role, and a few behavioral and technical questions.

The following week, I had three separate 30-minute virtual interviews via Microsoft Teams. These interviews were scheduled on different days rather than being back-to-back, which allowed for better preparation and reflection between each round.

Each interview followed a consistent structure:

Tell Me About Yourself (TMAY) – A chance to introduce my background and interest in the firm.
Behavioral & Resume-Based Questions – Focused on past experiences, problem-solving abilities, and teamwork.
Technical Questions – Covered valuation methods, accounting concepts, and financial modeling.
Open Conversation (Last 10-15 Minutes) – A more casual discussion where I could ask questions and build rapport with the interviewer.
Overall, the process was well-organized and the interviewers were engaging, professional, and welcoming. They created a comfortable environment, which made it easier to have meaningful conversations rather than feeling like a rigid Q&A session.
