They hit me with a scenario about correlation risk during a stress event. First round was behavioral and resumme focused. Second was with a senior risk person who covered market risk.

Kira video first, 3 questions with barely any prep time and you only get one shot. Then in person with one of the interviewers, EV vs equity value and Sharpe ratio came up. Third round was with the team, more cultural fit but they also threw in a brain teaser at the end. Process took over a month, super frustrating because I had other deadlines.

HackerRank SQL joins/aggregations and a Python problem that was harder than expected, basically competitive programming. Combined behavioral and tech at the Toronto office, questions on collaboration and ethical AI, very IBM vibes.
