Chicago, ILPosted Jan 2023 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I applied through Handshake and then waited a few weeks to hear back.

The first step was a phone screen with HR, and it felt pretty straightforward—more about how I came across than trying to catch me off guard. After that, I had a Teams call with an associate where the conversation shifted toward the leverage finance group, and the tone stayed fairly normal throughout.

I then got a more focused interview that mixed behavioral and technical questions, split roughly half-and-half. It was a one-on-one Zoom session with a chance at the end to ask questions, and it moved at a relaxed pace overall.

Even though the experience felt manageable, I didn’t get invited
