Interview
I reached out to a recruiter who put me in touch with a group. I did two coffee chats, an online skills assessment and hirevue-type recorded interview, and got a superday invite.

The skills assessment was the same as described when you search the name(s) online. The hirevue-type recorded responses were straightforward, same as any others (e.g., why UBS, your strengths). The superday was three 30-minute interviews (MD and above) focused on behaviorals/fit with very light technicals (e.g., valuation methods, some considerations for the industry group).
