I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Baird (New York, NY) in Feb 2026
Interview
One 30 minute virtual technical round with an Analyst, and in-person super day at the NYC office with 5 back-to-back 2x Associate, VP, Director, and Managing Director 30 minute interviews (4 behavioral, 1 behavioral & technical round).
1st round pure behavs, with a VP; 2nd round is more technical, with a VP; then superday. overall a good experience people are chill. I think they prefer people who can vibe with them
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Baird?
Any questions for them?
Would a LBO prefer construction company or trash collecting company
Behavioral technical mix first round. Technical and situational super day. Relatively difficult questions were largely offset by welcoming team that was easy to talk with in the interviews. Also included writing element at the end
