I applied through university. I interviewed at Alvarez & Marsal (Houston, TX) in Jan 2026
Interview
Three thirty-minute in-person interviews, with two behavioral and one technical question. Mainly looking for students interested in high finance. Follows the investment banking recruiting cycle. The interview was interesting overall and helped me learn more about the position; however, the technical questions were somewhat difficult.
