4 Interview Rounds

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I used almost the same resume as for McKinsey except that I didn’t mention anything about my US patents this time - I had a nagging feeling that McKinsey rejected me in the last round because they thought that I wouldn't join.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: I was the last person to have his first round interview with Lehman that day

Round: HR Interview
Experience: At one point she said that Lehman is open to people who are trying to experiment by taking an
IBanking job (I feel she slightly went on the defensive here).
• I asked her quite a few questions :
– “If I asked a Lehman analyst what the biggest plus and minus of Lehman was, what would he say?”
– Are you able to distinguish between candidates who are really interested in finance vs candidates who
do it for the money?
– How do you ensure that people work well in teams given that promotions are for individuals.
– I had audited a course on HR (MBA 616 I think) - I asked her a few questions on how Lehman handled
certain organizational issues I learnt about in the course. The course was pretty useful because I felt I
knew what was on her mind during most of the interview (and I think she knew this too).

Round: HR Interview
Experience: I don’t think any of the others had a 4th interview - even last year I think everyone had 3 interviews with Lehman, so
don’t expect a 4th interview - I think I had a 4th interview because they somehow knew I had an offer from Tower and wanted to see whether I was serious about Lehman.
