7 round interview, all of which were very straight forward and surprisingly relaxed. Interviewers, in specific order, were MD, SVP, VP, Associate, SVP, Associate, Recruiter. They give you a few breaks (for lunch and in between interviews). I highly recommend using this time wisely. All in all, pretty straight forward for an IB interview.
It went well, three rounds, some qualitative, some quantitative. It was generally easy but the analysts were a little tougher than the senior guys. overall, the interviews were okay. It was conducted through video rather than in-person or on the phone.
I applied online. I interviewed at Macquarie Group (New York, NY) in Feb 2024
Interview
