Interview
I applied to this role by emailing a Managing Director directly, which I believe was forwarded to Human Resources.
Interview Questions
I had a forty minute call with HR, before being invited in for a super day at the bank. I had six interviews overall--one while walking through Central Park and one at the end while having lunch at an upscale nearby restaurant. Repeatedly, I was asked how to derive free cash flow from revenue and was tested on my research background and the life cycle of biopharma companies. The senior bankers were very nice, but I didn't get the same vibe from the Analysts. Ended up losing out on the position to a Harvard grad and never heard back from the bank, despite following up multiple times.
