I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Mizuho Financial Group in Feb 2026
Interview
Superday was pretty standard. One markets (with a VP), one behavioral (with a director), and one technicals (with an analyst). The technicals were slightly different than the standard but nothing too crazy.

What industries do you expect to see the most increased M&A activity in over the next six months?
I interviewed at Mizuho Financial Group (Houston, TX)
Interview
Very straightforward. One Behavioral interview, one technical interview, then into the superday. The superday was 3 separate interviews, mostly entirely behavioral. Not overly technical regarding the questions; must have solid knowledge of energy markets.
