My interview process was fairly smooth and professional, with a few rounds that focused on CV background and motivational discussions with recruiters and managers. Interview questions were consistent with a typical structured process, and nothing felt chaotic.
What surprised me was the timeline. Even though things felt on track, the offer didn’t come until about two months after the final interview. After a verbal offer, they then provided the formal final offer a couple of weeks later, which made the overall experience feel drawn out rather than immediate.

One part was behavioral, with straightforward prompts like introducing myself and why I wanted IB, then I moved into a technical segment that focused on accounting and valuation.

After that, the path continued with a manager-style interview where I received a time slot by email and then interviewed with two managers in succession. The conversation took about 45 minutes, and the questions felt closer to my experience and how I’d operate under their expectations. The overall flow was pretty straightforward and not overly confusing. By the time I finished, it still felt like I’d been tested on two axes—how I presented myself and how solid my technical grounding was.
