Spoke on the phone with a person in HR. Asked all sorts of questions like what I thought this job would be like, why I was a good match for the job. They asked what kind of people I knew and what my relationship with them was like. This was to feel out if I had a good natural market.

There were four or five interviews, if you count the meeting with my future mentor. There were also a few personality assessments. Lots of paperwork. The finance industry is tightly regulated.
