I am on my 9th interview for an Equity Research position at the Senior Associate level. I feel like I've gone through the gauntlet already and I am interview with people in person that I've previous interviewed with on the phone. Does anyone have advice on this? Will this be a focus more on soft skills or should I expect a more intense interview than previously had?

How could someone tell you what the 9th interview at an unnamed shop will be like? You should expect to have to do the whole song and dance again. Prep for both technicals and fit, though if I had to guess - you've probably already shown you're bright enough, now they'd want to see if you'd likeable enough.
The further along you go the narrower the pool of candidates. So, it's most likely now down to you and a handful of people or maybe even one other person. If you've made it this far, you're doing all right. Just keep your enthusiasm up during the interviews as sometimes these gauntlets can weed out the pretenders from the serious candidates.
Good luck!
I've had to go through 8 interviews for an internship... Just do it
9 seems a bit excessive... why would you need anything more than a phone screen, an in person and a super day? I understand your an experienced hire but jesus, at what point do you start doubting their ability to use time efficiently?
