Summer Analyst

Resume drop with transcript and cover letter attached through on-campus recruiting at a core school. After about a week, I was notified that I received an on-campus interview. I had a first round interview with two associates at the firm. By 7pm that night, I was notified I received a final round interview the next day on campus, and I was invited to a final round reception right away at 7:30pm. Final round interview the next day was another thirty minute interview with two senior members of the recruiting team. The called about 36 hours later with an offer. For interviews, my first round was about half behavioral/fit (why do you want to do investment banking? walk me through your resume?) and the other half was basic accounting/valuation. In my final round interview, it was hardly any questions that you would find on any interview preparation guide, but rather just digging into my experiences on my resume and asking my opinions on related topics. For instance, as an economics concentrator, my interviewer asked me my opinion on current economic policy and how future changes would affect businesses, markets, imports/exports, etc.
