IB Analyst Informal Process NYC

Hey guys so I applied to a BB bank for an IB analyst role in a niche department within IB. This department has a lean team so it’s just the MD, a director and 4 analysts. After applying I networked with the MD and after a conversation with her, she had me talk to the director and now the director wants me to meet all the analysts tomorrow as a next step. Does this sound like a final round to you guys???

There’s no one else on the team that I can talk to after this. I’m just uncertain because none of this was through the recruitment process, it happened entirely through networking.

Hey congrats! I don't think they would go through all the trouble if they didn't want to hire you. I think the analysts are there to give a check the box approval. They might throw some basic technicals at you but I'm guessing it should be relatively chill. Good luck

 

Thanks for the response!! The interview went well. Still not sure if it’s a final round but they kept telling me I matched their needs so I hope they keep that energy and hire me lmao
