The were both personality based questions.

I really liked the people I interviewed with and they seem brilliant both were very cool.

We’ll see how I did… can only speculate on how I did.

 

Sounds like it went well! Just had the initial screening call with IBD yesterday for London so fingers crossed. Just afraid that some interviews will be very technical since i don't come from a IB/finance background

 

I know I’m late to answer but my first interview was a little rushed because the interviewer was late I personally felt that was the tougher of the two interviews in terms of questions asked. The second was pretty chill. Just behavior questions

 

Nope. Last week I was told that first round is finalizing and after that’s complete we’ll hear something back. So within the next two weeks hopefully.

 

I hope they tell you something soon. I have heard that they contact you the same day after Superday and today is the second. I would really like this opportunity. Good luck to everyone! 

 

Based on previous years threads seems like it’s primarily behavioral. Be likable, show interest in the markets by being up to date on what’s going on currently, and be prepared to ask questions that highlight your intellectual curiosity beyond the typical “What’s it like working here?”

 

No update yet… but she has been out for the past week from the auto response I got Friday. I am guessing she has 10000 emails. I tried reaching out also… so probably just waiting lol
