I was caught off-guard last week with a phone interview at a small hedge fund for a summer analyst position, in which I was asked only technical type questions. I wasn't fully prepared for the questions, so I did not do as well as I would have liked to, but was asked to come in for a 2nd interview with the two people that interviewed me on the phone, along with 2 MDs.
Can anyone tell me what my expectations should be for the 2nd interview? Since I was not asked any fit/behavioral questions, should I expect these, or more technicals as well?
I know a lot of people here have had a good amount of experience interviewing, so if anyone could provide some advice I would appreciate it.
they could ask you anything they feel like, either fit or technical.
That is a given - I am asking along the lines of how the process usually works.
the fact that they fired at you right away is proof that they will keep things random. Perhaps that's just their style. Of course, I don't think you can "prepare" for a fit question. Know the firm, and know yourself. Be able to talk about your experiences. The rest should be flawles technical knowledge, where even if you don't know, you can say, "I'm not sure, but I'd speculate that...".
Good luck.
