Haven’t had to interview in a while - what is the typical recruitment process like? How many interviews? How long does the process take? I’m looking at a career move (but staying sell side).

It varies - from 2-6 interviews. Some do HR recruiter, hiring manager and that’s it. Others push it to cross functional teams and then it can go up from there. I would say standard is 3 on average. And when it comes to how long it takes very much depends on the company and how much of a hurry they are. Anywhere from 2-3 weeks up to 6 months. My current job took almost 4 months to give me an offer with the holidays and interviewing with what felt like the entire company.

I had a sell side research process recently. Phone interview with hiring manager, take home writing and model case study, panel interview with 2 people in person (not in office). Then 4 interviews in office. About 2 months from sending online application to verbal offer, and this is at a BB.

Curious what comp you’re looking for and YOE?

3 years as an associate and 4 as an analyst, prior to that 1 year in PE. I have several degrees including a doctorate. I’m unsure about comp because I am at a boutique - some years bonus was great and others was just okay. I know at a BB it’s more stable which is where I’m looking to make the move.

Structured interviews, always. Every candidate gets the same questions and assessed by the same scorecard. Some companies try to find a cultural fit for you if they have good HR managers. hope this helps

The usual is 3-4 interview rounds. First with a recruiter, second with the manger of the department you'll be working, the third could be a group or panel interview.

It really depends on the company. Is there a particular company you are looking at?

Did an interview yesterday that was supposed to be behavioral, but turned out to be more like the case interviews I did in undergrad. I think I showed off my business knowledge, but he kept harping on my lack of an official framework (vs me saying "I'd explore it from different stakeholder perspectives: customer, line employee, management"); pretty sure he considered it a failure.
