1st Year Sales Analyst

Introduced myself to an on-campus recruiter. Within a couple weeks I had an interview setup at the Midtown office—which is quite a nice office. The duration of my time there lasted about 2.5 hours, and I interviewed with HR, a member of sales, and two partners. Nearly everything was fit-based with basic conversations about markets and companies I like to follow. All four people were extremely easy to talk to and their professionalism/demeanor confirmed what I understood about Redburn prior to the fact—which was that this company is made up of great people who care about the work they do and are damn-good at it. The buy-side has a tremendous amount of respect for the firm, and the business model is one of few that promotes deep understanding of the coverage universe among the sales staff in addition to the hardcore research foundations laid out by their equity research division (which is in London). All around it was a great experience.

If you're interviewing with the firm you need to prove that you know the company and have a good reason for wanting to work there. They're a small shop, and they're growing fast. They really can't afford to make mistakes in hiring, so they're going to want people who believe in the Redburn vision and want to be part of that growth story.
