Two nice people had a Zoom call with me, asked me some questions about myself and wanted to learn about my job market paper. They were weary about me not really being interested enough in financial consulting.
I interviewed at Compass Lexecon (London, England)
Interview
normal behavioural questions and then a few case studies. Interviewers were all very nice and friendly. Didn't expect me to know much about the specific sector since was a niche, questions were mainly focused on knowledge of economic concepts

Question 1
competition economics questions about monopolies etc
I applied online. I interviewed at Compass Lexecon
Interview
I had a first round with them during the AEA. They were selling themselves to me more than asking me questions. Probably nicest interview I had during the conference, overall positive because they communicate with you constantly. Unlike other rejections, I did hear back from them when I was not chosen to advance further.
