Interview Details

What did the interview consist of?
Phone Interview
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
I applied for a position at Sagent through my business school's career website. I also contacted people at the bank through a personal contact. After applying, I received a request for a 30 minute phone interview. The interview was with a new VP and was very much a feeler interview to understand how serious I was about i-banking and how my background would fit in with banking. I have an accounting background and also experience with M&A, so the interview quickly turned into a discussion about the profession and why it was better to head to a boutique over a BB. I actually didn't receive any technical questions.
