I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments in Oct 2009
Interview
I applied online through my school's career services website. Was selected for a first round interview. The interview was going fairly smoothly, mostly soft stuff about my background, until I referenced my personal investment experience. At that point, the interviewer seemed to perk up and started asking me some fairly difficult and technical questions about the stock purchases I had made, and my "investment thesis" for each. Extremely competitive for second round interviews and I was not one of the lucky few
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What was your investment thesis for this particular stock?
I applied online. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Toronto, ON)
Interview
Many stages. Pre-screening call with recruiter to understand the role. Next, Pre-screening with hiring manager - short pitching of a stock of choice (30mins); Next round 2, 2 stage Technical with hiring managers; Next round 3, panel interview with PMs; and final round, presentation to panel of PMs - stock idea (detailed)
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Toronto, ON) in Sep 2024
Interview
Very selective if not out of internship. First and second round are one on one chats with PMs focused around passion and ability (technicals and behaviourals). Final round is an in person stock pitch in front of 20 or so PMs. Sharp team- prepare accordingly
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments
Interview
1 interview with HR, superday 4 people (30 min each). Mostly behavioral, great people to interview with since it was very conversational. Fidelity has great culture, make sure to know why equity research, why fidelity. Be prepared to talk about extracurriculars and other interests.
