The interview process was fairly standard for an investment banking associate role in New York. It started with an initial HR screening call focusing on background, motivation, and availability. This was followed by one to two rounds of technical and behavioral interviews with associates and vice presidents. The final round consisted of a superday with multiple back-to-back interviews covering technical knowledge, deal experience, and fit with the team. Overall, the process was structured, professional, and moved at a reasonable pace.
