I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Raymond James Financial (New York, NY) in Mar 2023
Interview
First-round interview, Superday in NY (flown out) - comprised of 5-6 rounds of technical and behavioral topics. Most questions seemed to lean behavioral, with a large emphasis on the "why" aspect of doing your specific group (e.g. Capital Structure Advisory). Interviewers ranged from Associate to Managing Director level. All of the interviewers were very pleasant and kind.

I applied online. I interviewed at Raymond James Financial (Saint Petersburg, FL) in Feb 2026
Interview
I have only gone through the video interview portion, which is the first part. The questions were super difficult to answer, BE PREPARED!!! They ask a lot of questions about finance, not you as a person. I was only asked one question (Tell me about yourself and your previous work experience), which was the only question where I explained my experiences. I was asked 7 questions, 6 of which were to provide a stock pitch, advantages of an IPO, and the differences between equity and debt issuance
