Interview Process

The interview process started with the recruiter reaching out via LinkedIn. After a brief chat about my background, a technical phone screen was scheduled. The interview lasted about 30 minutes and consisted of both behavioral questions and technical questions related to finance and algorithms. I was asked about my experience with financial modeling and to solve an algorithm problem on the spot. The interviewer was quite friendly and gave hints when I got stuck. I am currently waiting for feedback on this interview.
