Was a very rushed interview process. Got the impression they figured you weren’t worth their time. In terms of content, just be prepared with standard IB technicals and you should be fine.
Started with a technical round with an analyst over zoom, then met with 2 VP's, ended with a super day (4 different interviews). Overall not too difficult and good people.
two 30 min interviews with associates, then progress to super day (seven 20 min interviews). all over Zoom, a few basic technical questions (valuation methods), mostly behavioral questions about my experiences. It seems like they put a lot of emphasis on culture fit
