Please describe the interview / hiring process.
It was a phone interview with an associate at the bank. The format of the interview was following:

Fit questions:

- Why should we hire you?
- Why this location?
- What makes you a perfect candidate for IB?

Technical questions:

- If you had to choose one financial statement to evaluate a company, what would it be and why?
- What valuations methods do you know of?
