Summer M&A Analyst

First was a HireVue interview. It was mostly behavioral: questions about my background, why I’m interested in banking, and why this firm specifically. Since it was recorded, it was really about being clear, structured, and genuine without the benefit of back-and-forth conversation.

Next was a live online interview with an analyst and an associate. That round was split about half behavioral and half technical. We went deeper into my experiences and teamwork, then shifted into core technical topics like accounting and valuation. It felt more conversational but definitely more rigorous.

The final stage was a Superday with two 30-minute interviews. One was behavioral with a Managing Director, focused on overall fit and long-term interest. The other was technical and pushed further into finance concepts. Each stage felt progressively more in-depth and evaluative.
