I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Jefferies (New York, NY)
Interview
3 rounds. Phone screen, in-person with case study, final meetings with senior folks. All conversations are a mix of behavioral and technical questions, with an emphasis on deal experience and ability to hit the ground running.
I applied through university. I interviewed at Jefferies
Interview
Phone interview (30 mins), followed by on-campus interview (1 hour). Both times the interviewers were alums, and they were fairly friendly. The on campus interview seemed much more formal, and it was largely talking about your resume and behavioral things, only 2 technical questions (had received a bunch in phone interview earlier)
