TD Securities · Investment banking analyst · Summer Analyst / Analyst
First-round interview
A live round, often with a few junior bankers; roughly half fit, half technical
What they actually ask
The question shapes this round uses. Larpy does not read these out. It builds each one from your own resume, because the generic version is the one you have already rehearsed.
- “Walk me through your resume.”
- “Why investment banking, and why TD Securities over a bulge bracket or another Canadian bank?”
- “Why this group or product?”
- “Tell me about a time you worked on a team, and what your specific role was.”
- “Pitch me a stock, or tell me about a deal you have followed.”
- “Tell me about a time you had to juggle competing deadlines.”
What this round is judged on
- Motivation · a specific 'why TD Securities' and 'why this group'
- Teamwork · concrete ownership in a team story
- Commercial awareness · a real, defensible view on a stock or deal
- Communication · structured answers that hold up under follow-ups

- Superday
- Three back-to-back interviews. The first two are behavioral with associates; the last is a dedicated technical seat, sometimes with a VP and an on-the-spot valuation.
- Offer
