After doing the online test, easy statistics and medium programming. First round meet with a vp, asked several behavior questions. He spoke super fast, and the conversation was not very smooth.
First round interview was with some associates that ran through my resume with me and asked some basic questions like why Jefferies and Why ECM. Overall, it was not that bad you just need an understanding of ECM markets and good communication skills.
I applied online. I interviewed at Jefferies (New York, NY) in Mar 2026
Interview
The interview was one-on-one and around 30 minutes. The overall experience is good but the interviewer pushed to details about one of my research program. Tell me about yourself, Why Jefferies.
