Interview
I was first approached by a HR representative. He told me about the position and asked me if I was interested in applying. Then I had a 1-1 interview with the recruiting manager. He asked me to go over my resume with him, asked me a mix of behavioral and technical questions. He then set up interviews with 4 team members. Some interviews went well, others not so much. I was pretty much ghosted after that point.
Interview Questions
In general questions were not difficult but I had the impression they were looking for very particular answers. If I didn't use the right concept or wording they seemed to be disappointed. For example, I was asked how to determine whether to invest or not on a particular class of corporate bonds.

Reached out to school alumni for interview. First round consisted of behavior questions and explanation of why I was moving firms etc. I was asked to explain my prior role in depth and what I got out of it and how I could apply it to research in the new position. Technicals weren’t really asked outright but the conversation was clearly aimed to weed out those who didn’t know the ins and outs of FI research or what they were talking about.

There weren't many difficult questions. The majority were fit and qualitative. I had some technical questions regarding fixed-income securities, A few specific questions were: Tell me if a 30 year MBS or Treasury has a longer duration, and why. Can you explain the concept of bond convexity, how does an increase in leverage impact beta. I was also asked one brain teaser, tell me the angle of a clock at 3:15 PM, that threw me off a bit, but it's not an extremely difficult one to answer. The remainder was very casual.
