Interview

In the US, the investment banking interview process goes like this:
Submit your resume online or through your contacts;
Go through a first-round, usually on-campus, interview;
If you do well, you move to the next round – “superday interviews,” which are held at the bank’s offices (the article you’re reading right now covers this step);
If all the bankers like you, they give you an offer.

Interviewed for a position in the interest rate group

Interview Questions

Application

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Lehman Brothers (Jersey City, NJ (US)) in February 2012.

Interview

They ask about a lot of data structures and a few brain teasers. Make sure you read some "Cracking the Coding interview" to get an idea for these questions. I would say the technical part is 95% of what they are looking for so spend little to no time thinking of good behavioral responses. Great ideas - especially hobby projects and problems with their favourite language seems really good to me. It should reveal more about their relation to programming.

Walked through the resume, asking questions about previous experiences such as what my main responsibilities were and describe any challenges I encountered . The next interview was a super day of 5 interviews in a row. The younger analysts had heavy quantitative questions, while the senior ones asked the strength/weakness/leadership questions.
