The hiring process at BFIN takes an average of 35 days when considering 1 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Intern had the quickest hiring process (on average 35 days), whereas Intern roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 35 days).
Technical and fit. They also asked to model a 3 statement operating model. Was pretty straightforward, fit can be a concern as it is very subjective. Otherwise, pretty standard investment banking process
Applied and was notified to interview a week later. The interview consisted of behavioral questions and real estate specific market and technical questions. The interviewer was very nice. Took a month to hear back.
