I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Jefferies (New York, NY)
Interview
Purely technical questions from the 400 Question Bank. No behavioral questions other than Why Jefferies was asked in all the coffee chats I did there. Getting a response was extremely difficult though since ofcourse like every other IB Associate they are swamped with emails
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Jefferies (Houston, TX) in Jan 2016
Interview
In person meet and greet then a 30 minute phone call interview maybe 2 weeks later. Met with two associates, two managing directors, and one analyst. It was a very typical interview process.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
How do you value a companies cash flows using a DCF model?
I applied through university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Jefferies in Jan 2014
Interview
Business School Career Management. Two rounds of interviews. Tough technicals, solid interpersonal questions. Very collegial work environment. Lean deal teams, so junior bankers get a lot of exposure and tons of work to do.
