Hi guys - I have a second round phone interview with an associate from FTP, based in California. I was wondering 1) What their reputation is on the street, and 2) what is their second round technical interview like?

SA or FT? 2nd round was pretty technical and focus on why FTP/banking
Very technical with lots of follow up questions. Make sure you actually understand concepts rather than simply memorize formulas.
+SB
This is sage advice for any interview.
This is for SA.
Bump, interested as well. @markiv199 how was the first round? I've got a phone call with a VP tomorrow.
I am the real boss baby.

Does FT Partners pay their SA?
Lol yea, the unpaid comments about the SA were from way back, pay is apparently equal to street

Have you heard back from the superday?
How many rounds did you have before the superday? ANd how was it?
Can anyone give me some insight on the online assessment. I am going for full time so probably not in competition with most of yall. Thanks for the help.
It's a personality test (similar to Myers Briggs), and then an IQ type of test with shapes and stuff. Pretty strange overall.
Saw these guys post that they were looking for an experienced analyst & was looking into the opportunity. Looks like a lot of the posts on them are pretty dated (2013-14).
Any recent opinions/thoughts? Seems like they do well very well in their space but analysts get absolutely worked to the bone even more so than other places. Is that still true?
Use the search function & you'll see some recent thoughts on them
all thoughts here seem to be more focused on when interviews/how interviews are for them rather than actually speaking to the actual analyst experience hence why i'm asking
