What are you most afraid of people think about you?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at BMO Capital Markets (New York, NY) in Oct 2018
Interview
Two phone interviews and a 1:2 in person final round with MD and Associate. Phone interviews were a mix of behavioural and market knowledge. The final round was more heavily concerned with knowledge and opinion on market.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at BMO Capital Markets (New York, NY)
Interview
They were very polite through the entire process and kept fairly good communication through dealing with travel and other things. Two rounds of interviews. Both were very fit/market focused with very little trading/math questions.
