I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at StepStone Group (New York, NY) in Nov 2018
Interview
Phone Screen, then super day in person with 8 interviewers. Mix of basic technicals and behavioral. Pretty standard but was surprised how many different people they had me talking to. Whole process was very grueling and time consuming
Almost entirely behavioral — focused on your story and motivations. Expect deep dives on why StepStone Group, why secondaries investing (TMAY), and how your background lines up with their strategy. They’ll test clarity of thought, conviction, and whether your “why” holds up under pressure.
