Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work on the sell-side vs buy-side?
Met with human resources and then with the equity research analyst over teams. Pretty much skipped behavioural questions and jumped straight into technicals questions. Started with walk through of my resume and background.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at TD (Toronto, ON) in Apr 2014
Interview
5 rounds - 2 with team, 1 with HR, 1 with MD, and 1 case study. Overall fairly average interview process and not that hard if you understand capital markets.
