equity research associate

I had a 30-minute zoom interview with a Director of HR. The director asked specific questions regarding my past work experience and wanted to know if I had prior experience in financial modeling. It was obvious that he was looking for someone with some experience in equity research.
Some questions that I remember: 1. why are you pursuing equity research? 2. have you done any financial modeling before? 3. where do you see yourself in five years? 4. Why Cowen? 5. Why this particular sector? 6. Describe your most recent professional experience
After the Q&A, the director briefly mentioned how Cowen differentiates itself from competitors by investing a lot in their juniors.
Overall, the interview was pretty laid back and nothing too tricky.
The next step in the hiring process is supposedly a phone interview with an MD, but I still haven't heard back from Cowen, so I can't confirm.
