First interview is a quick phone interview with HR followed by a group interview with HR. From there, an individual interview comes a week later with a financial rep. This interview consists of a presentation of yourself, your goals, and your market. Last round you are required to build a list of 100 contacts and also call//meet with six people and ask them a series of questions. After completing these steps, the process concludes by meeting with the Managing Director where questions about the project (calling six people and compiling a list of 100 names) are asked. No technical questions, all behavioral particularly relating to ability to deal with failure.

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.
