Wanted to see if anyone's been through any lateral interview process since the pandemic started and everything shifted to virtual/zoom interviews. How long was the process? # of rounds? how long did it take to get an offer from the last interview date? Any insight would be appreciated, thanks!

Recently went through the process. They moved pretty quickly and I did 7 interviews in a span of 3 weeks, all on zoom. 4 weekdays after my final interview I got the verbal and another day for the actual offer to hit my email. During those 4 days they called my references.
do you mind sharing at the time you had two or one year ib experience for lateral positoins?
Well I had 0 in IB. They considered me to be lateral still. I was coming from one year experience in prime brokerage and happened to network and land the interviews for IB.
Varies bank by bank but I have been through a few processes since COVID. The short processes have been first round phone/zoom and then straight to super day with 4-6 interviews over zoom. Longer processes have been first round phone/zoom, second round phone/zoom, model test, then superday
Any good news sofar?
Not yet, but just had a superday yesterday so fingers crossed. This was my 3rd superday in the last 2 months or so
