Ignore title. Have gone through ~15 interviews with a large cap investment firm (i.e., including case study, meeting senior people, etc.) for a lateral role. Now have a ~2 hour dinner scheduled with mid/senior people (think Principal / MD). Are these kind of interviews generally more of a final round or how should I think about this? Anything to look out for with this format?

15 interviews? What were they asking u to do?
Had a similar process and team meal (though lunch v. dinner) at the end. It was the final round for the overall process. In general it was more relaxed / conversational than a regular interview, but this is still an interview. There were more fit / behavioral types of questions (asking more about interests outside of work, etc.) and then questions about what I was looking for in the role / why that felt like the right fit for me, etc. You've passed the bar on all the technical stuff at this point, this is basically one last datapoint on fit . FWIW, I didn't end up getting the offer (think it was down to me and one other candidate who did) so don't assume you're in the clear yet - in my situation the other candidate just had slightly more relevant experience for a semi-niche vertical that was covered by the team
Super helpful, appreciate it. Supposedly they’re hiring 2-3 people so hopefully I dont end up with the same outcome!
Cool, hopefully not then! I thought it was pretty wack on their part to drag the process out so long + have this lunch final round only to not give an offer so hopefully that isn't common, but best to treat it like you're not over the finish line yet - good luck
Assert dominance and order the most expensive wine on the menu
Not dominant enough,
Order salad for everyone at the table but yourself
which region is this
15 interviews is crazy. Is this normal?
Doesn't seem crazy / unheard of it for a career-track role and they mainly do 1:1 interviews + want you to meet pretty much the full team (Sr. Associate+)
