Question 1
Describe an example of balancing multiple priorities with tight deadlines?
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Peters & Co. (Calgary, AB) in Dec 2016

The overall interview process went pretty fast. But was never aware of there is a third round interview. Questions are easy, mostly behavioural, nothing technical. First round was on the phone, and second round was with three people who are in the equity research team.
