Please describe the interview / hiring process.
I meet vanguard at the 2024 ALPFA convention. My resume was passed along to a senior recruiter, and I was emailed with a link to register for the super day. 4-hour-ish process. The first meeting was 30 minutes, just detailing the position I was applying for, and I was joined by other applicants. After that was a screening interview with a 1-on-1 recruiter, and they just asked basic "tell me about yourself" and "how do you take feedback?" questions. After that was my 1-hour behavioral interview, which was very much conversational and relied on my resume to ask the questions. "How did you deliver bad news at your inernship?" "What's your biggest weakness at your internship?" It was just based around my internship; a very chill guy talked about soccer.

After that was a quick 15-minute break. Then a 1-hour-long technical was given, with a case study in advance on very easy things like NPV and ETF vs. mutual fund. Struggled with CPV since it was never touched in class. I'm a rising sophomore, but my interview was very nice and almost like office hours, with the screen shared (DOC AND EXCEL OPEN) and explaining my thought process. Overall, I'm not sure if I did good or mid, but I'm happy with how it went.
