RBC Capital Markets Pathways Diversity Program Summer 2026

Have my round 1 later this week, I’m pretty nervous. Any insight as to what I can expect from the interview? Also my interview is with Global Markets, but I don’t remember specifically applying to s&t. Did I fuck up or do we get to choose which division of cap markets we want to interview for later? I don’t really have any interest in s&t I want to do research haha.

Based on previous WSO threads, here's what you need to know about the RBC Pathways Diversity Program interviews:

  1. Interview Format: The first round is typically behavioral. Expect questions about your resume, past experiences, and your story. Be prepared to elaborate on anything you've listed on your resume.

  2. Technical Questions: While the first round leans heavily on behavioral questions, there might be some basic technicals. For example, if you're interviewing for Global Markets, you might get questions related to market trends or basic finance concepts. However, the focus is more on your fit and understanding of the role.

  3. Division Selection: RBC seems to care about aligning candidates with their interests. If your interview is with Global Markets but you’re more interested in Research, it’s worth bringing this up during the interview or reaching out to HR. It’s possible that the division assignment is flexible, especially in early rounds.

  4. Preparation Tips:

    • Know your resume inside and out.
    • Be ready to explain why you’re interested in RBC and the specific division you’re targeting.
    • Brush up on basic technicals, even if the first round is mostly behavioral.
    • Research recent market trends or news if you're interviewing for Global Markets.

If you’re nervous, focus on telling your story confidently and showing genuine interest in the program. Good luck!
