Interview with MD

I have a second round interview scheduled with the MD of the team I am interviewing for. This is a London based BB. How are these interviews different from your typical fit/technical interviews? Also, is it likely that this would be the last round interview or would I still have to do an assessment centre if I pass it?

Depends on the group and the entry level. Some will look for fit and others will look for better commercial understanding - especially the latter is a geographical coverage or technical industry team

 

How did you prepare so far, and what kind of team are you interviewing for?

 

Hey man, 

I prepared by reading news articles, going through the 400 questions from breaking into wallstreet, did the technical/behavioral documents for WSO, and read about the firms history and transactions. I have prior experience in IB which helped with revision.
