Please describe the interview / hiring process.
Being a 2009 graduate, it was very hard for me to land a job in investment banking. Thus, competition was stiff even at a local firm like Daewoo Securities.
The first round interview consisted of a group interview, with 3 interviewers and 4 candidates. These were mostly behavioral questions such as why we are interested in IB, why still apply when the industry seems to be dying, etc.
The second round was 1:1 with a VP. This was a little more technical (i.e. What is investment banking? What happens to the 3 statements when depreciation goes up by 10).
The final round was with 3 interviewers, with the CEO himself. This was very general fit questions (i.e. Why M&A? Where do you see yourself in 30 years? What would you do if your coworker stole credit for your work?)
