Question About Full Time Analyst Interview Process - 3rd Round Interviews Exist???

Question about interviewing process for S&T at a bulge bracket bank... Full time analyst

Background: - Applied for sales role (specific desk) in S&T for full time analyst position - Already had the 30 min phone interview (1st rounder) - Have scheduled 2nd round Video Conference interview (30 mins long) - No mention of word from HR - Applicant pool must be pretty thin for this position - Did not even network a single time, but got the 1st round interview opportunity (which very rarely happens for full time opportunities...) - My impression is that HR is trying to push all interviews to be done ASAP

My question is: - Do you think there will be a 3rd rounder (final) after this video interview? - "Real" super day in NYC? Kind of does not make sense that video interview would be a final one, especially for a SALES position.. Do "3 round" interviews even exist in bulge bracket banks? I have seen some Glassdoor feedback for operations interviews that had final rounds being video conferences..

Thank you for your replies in advance!

EDIT: The video interview is 30 mins, not 3 hours.

“John listened before giving advice. I told him I had accepted an offer at Bank of America but was still interested in JLL and Wellington. Instead of telling me what to do, he asked what I wanted from my career and helped me think about which path would give me more options. I also liked that he was honest about what he knew and didn’t know. He gave me a clear reason to keep working toward JLL, while reminding me that Bank of America was still a good place to start. When I practiced my interview answer, he told me what worked and gave me one simple way to improve it. That made the feedback easy to use. Most of all, John made me feel less stressed about figuring everything out right now. He offered to help with a mock interview too, which meant a lot to me. ”

Sales & Trading Mock Interview

“The mentor provided extremely detailed and thoughtful feedback throughout our session. What I appreciated most was that the advice was not generic. He took the time to understand my background, past experiences, and the specific roles I am currently recruiting for, and then tailored his suggestions accordingly. He also connected many of his recommendations to his own professional background and experiences, which made the feedback much more practical and credible. Instead of simply telling me what to change, he explained why certain answers or approaches would be more effective and how an interviewer might interpret them. He also shared specific examples from his own experience to illustrate his points. I came away from the session with a much clearer understanding of both my strengths and the areas I should improve, as well as several concrete ways to strengthen my interview preparation. Overall, the session was extremely helpful, personalized, and actionable, and I would definitely work with him again.”
