J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Jefferies (Charlotte, NC) en sept. 2022
Entretien
I interviewed at Jefferies Consumer and Retail in the charlotte office. Overall, I had a great experience - the people interviewing me were very personable and seemed genuinely interested in my background. The initial interview was not too difficult - behavioral, maybe 1 or 2 light technical questions. The superday was 2/3 behavioral and 1/3 technical. I would recommend knowing very well to make yourself stand out because this could be a detriment to your candidacy if you don't know the fundamentals. At the time, I was not good with technicals which hurt my chances. Overall good experience.

Entretien
The Jefferies interview process was unexpectedly slow and drawn-out. While the content remained standard for investment banking—focusing on typical technical and behavioural questions—the overall length was disappointing. I found the timeline unnecessarily long compared to other firms, which impacted my overall candidate experience.
