Into the Void


The NYC Interviews

Posted in Life by Scott Baldwin on the August 4th, 2006

Midtown ManhattanI’ll be in NYC this Sunday through Tuesday interviewing with several companies, including some of the top investment banks on Wall Street. From what I understand, each interview will last between 4-5 hours and consist of several interviews and a programming test or two. Sounds like fun right?… I think I can handle it.

UPDATE (Aug-10-2006)

The NYC trip was exhausting and I only slept about 4 hours total, but it was well worth it! The interviews went well and I expect to receive an offer from at least one of the companies. One of the meetings I had lasted over 6 hours and consisted of like 8 interviews that were probably 95% technical. The others I had also lasted several hours, but were not quite as technical.

This was my second trip to NYC, and everything was exactly how I remember. I didn’t plan on sight-seeing at all, but I did accidentally stumble onto Times Square once, and one of the companies I interviewed with (in Jersey City) had an incredible view of lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. NYC is an exciting place to be… it’s just hard to believe that I could be living there soon.
