Sent an initial online application for general Global Markets Associate position. I initially intended my application to be sent for an equity research role. After about a month of waiting, got an email that I was invited for the first-round interview scheduled two weeks later. About 4 days before the interview, I was told that my interview will be with the quantitative research team! Probably they chose this based on my CV, but it could have helped if they made this clear in the first place, not 4 days before the interview. Tried to scrape up as much as I could, but got completely shot down. Absolutely no fit questions. Only technical.
