Group case was 4 of us in a breakout room with about 30 minutes to solve some government consulting scenario about budget allocation or something. One guy immediately tried to take over and wouldn't let anyone else talk which made it really awkward. Pretty sure the observers noticed but who knows. The one on one interviews before that were normal behavioral stuff.

Fumbled a yield curve question pretty bad. Started with a recruiter phone call, then a zoom with a rates trader who asked me to price a bond after a rate move and pitch a macro trade.

VP asked about an energy deal I didn't know and that pretty much killed it. Two rounds then a superday, DCF and three statements stuff.

Networked with two analysts at the school info session, definitely helped. First round was fairly standard fit and basics, why IB, why choose TD over the US banks, explain a DCF. Final panel with an MD and two directors was intense but I'd prepped the accounting stuff cold. One of them went into how rising rates affect an LBO model and I had a solid answer. Whole process was under three weeks.
