Started the interview process 3 months out of college. Had an initial phone screen, followed by a personality test. Once you pass those two steps, you are invited into the local office for a 1:1 interview. It lasted for almost 2 hours, and was focused primarily on if you have what it takes to work hard, as it is a very difficult business to ramp up.

There were four or five interviews, if you count the meeting with my future mentor. There were also a few personality assessments. Lots of paperwork. The finance industry is tightly regulated.
