Friendly interviewers, good experience even without the offer. Quick HR call then team round covered risk management concepts and gave me a scenario about a real estate portfolio under stress conditions, what risk metrics I'd monitor. I knew VaR and CVaR but some of the real estate specific risk language was unfamiliar. Montreal office
