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

What happens in each stage›

Application (Workday): Online application through TD's Workday portal. Strong GPA, target-school pedigree and prior finance internships are the reported filters.
One-way video screen: A recorded, timed video interview reported as part of the Canadian pipeline (not confirmed on a TD page). Behavioral: tell me about yourself, why banking, why TD Securities.
First-round interview: One live round, commonly reported as roughly three junior bankers together, about 30 to 45 minutes, split about half fit and half technical.
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: Full-time offers are largely conversion from the summer class; classes start in July.
