I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Stifel Financial (New York, NY) in Jul 2019
Interview
Straightforward but difficult; involved fast-moving series of accounting and financial markets questions in the first round. A qualitative interview was given in the second and third rounds. Team members were kind and answered all questions, and asked personalized questions.
The interview was very behavioral, my interviewer was extremely nice and led most of the conversation. Do some research on the firm before, they love hearing about the CEO and his ability to innovate, he is one of the longest standing CEOs on the street.
