I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Société Générale (Paris) in Jun 2017
Interview
three rounds interview: with analyst, associate and director each time
With analysts and associates, I went through three mini case studies besides a bunch of technical Qs
With the D, it was mostly fit questions
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Very technical : valuation methods, what WACC stands for and key drivers, etc.,
Industry knowledge as this role is with the sector team
Typical fit Qs : be very familiar with your CV
Common questions you would expect for IBD. I had two associates interviewing me for the second round. Good experience but I should have prepared better for the next time. Try to focus on both technical questions and behavioral questions.
