I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Partners Capital (Boston, MA) in Oct 2019
Interview
Interview consisted of multiple rounds of introductory conversations with a variety of individuals in the firm. I spoke with people both in the San Francisco office as well as the Boston Office (North America HQ). The first few conversations were more behavioral, and as I got towards the tail end of the process, there were a few case studies I had to complete.
