-Very fair process. The interviewer was very focused on why IB and why Jefferies, especially as I was a younger person who was interviewing. Technical questions were not particularly hard.

Question 1
-Walk me through a 10 dollar increase in depreciation.
Fairly easy and straightforward, not much technical work. Mostly behavioral stuff and follow ups on resume, although there were some of the most basic questions in the guides. Overall, pretty easy process, yet confusing .
Super day for Investment Banking Analyst full time role consisted of three 20 minute interviews, each with 2 interviewers ranging from VP to MD in seniority. Overall positive experience, Behaviorals and technicals were not out of the ordinary.
