Intern

The process starts with an online assessment, which includes a Pymetrics test followed by a personality questionnaire. It is not technical at all and is more about how you think, make decisions, and your general behavioral profile.

After that, there is a HireVue. This is mostly straightforward behavioral questions such as walking through your background and explaining why sales and trading and why financial markets. Nothing too tricky, but you want to be clear and intentional with your answers.

The final stage is a superday that lasts about 2.5 hours. The first part is three one on one interviews with people at the firm, which together take around an hour to an hour and a half. These are a mix of behavioral questions and light market discussion. It is less about technical knowledge and more about how you think, communicate, and talk through ideas.

Then there is a group case. You are given some time to read through a case, pick a company, and come up with an initial pitch on your own. Everyone presents their idea to the group first, and then you work together to align on one final recommendation. After that, you present the group pitch to a panel.

At the end, there is a short 15 minute discussion with someone from the panel where you walk through the group’s decision and reasoning in more detail. It is pretty conversational and gives you a chance to explain how you approached it.
