The initial communication was very open and I was invited to first-round interviews in Frankfurt. There I was interviewed by three bankers of different seniority with questions including some valuation and technical bits but mainly fit questions. I was then invited to an assessment day in the London office where I was interviewed with 5 other candidates. We had 1:1 interviews, a presentation on a case and a group discussion. The reason for my rejection was the fact that I had not responded too well to other team members but was too critical of what was being said.
