The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BlackRock (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2011
Interview
Applied through school career center. Called for first round on campus interview, which was followed up by a superday at the firm in SF. Superday consisted of 6 back to back interviews- pretty standard. The interviews were both fit and technical based, so be prepared for both types of questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If I gave you x amount of dollars, what would you invest in and why?
Also basic bond questions on duration, convexity, etc.
The first stage involved submitting a CV and answering usual questions about grades etc on an online form. You then had to answer 3 questions via video recording. The question would come up, you’d have a few minutes to prepare, and then the time would start.
