Interview
On-Campus Interview followed by final rounds in NYC. First interview was mostly behavioral with one or two technicals. Final rounds was interviews with 4-5 different ranking people. Everyone seemed pretty nice especially the HR people. I chose Mizuho because they are really expanding in the US so you will probably have more upwards mobility while still being with a large corporate/investment bank.
