I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Evercore (New York, NY) in Nov 2022
Interview
Several meetings in NYC office spread out over a couple days. Very friendly individuals that stress both quantitative knowledge and strong communication skills. Made the interview time fly by (many ran longer than expected)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: Tell me your opinion on the most recent Fed meeting Q: Are you bullish or bearish Q: What value could you add to our team on day 1
Fine, not as difficult as expected. Mostly markets based and basic technicals questions. A lot of it is networking at this firm. Super day is 4 back-to-back, one markets, one technical, one behavioral, and one behavioral/markets,
A couple of behavioral questions followed by some technical questions. The interviewer was super friendly and accommodating. The questions were very straightforward but there were some follow-up questions that were tricky.
