Bank of America Interview Process: Rounds, Timeline & Compensation
Michael King, PE Investment Manager ·
Bank of America runs 2 rounds: an online HireVue digital interview and assessment, then an in-person Superday (typically 4-5 back-to-back interviews with analysts, associates and VPs). In the UK, summer analyst and full-time applications open in the autumn and are assessed on a rolling basis, with Superdays and decisions typically following within a few business days. US summer recruiting runs considerably earlier and on a compressed timeline, with Superdays clustering from spring through summer for one of the larger analyst classes on the Street (reportedly several hundred hires a year), so competition for each slot is steep. In London, first-year analyst base runs roughly £55k-£85k, with total comp around £90k-£150k after bonus — roughly 20-30% below the New York benchmark, where BofA-specific reporting points to a base near $110k plus a bonus of roughly $70k-$100k (all-in around $180k-$210k).

Notes
With one of the largest analyst classes on the Street, BofA leans heavily on the automated HireVue screen before the Superday — reported pass-through rates suggest under half clear the initial screen and only a small single-digit share reach Superday, so a clean, well-rehearsed technical foundation matters as much as any standout story.
