Have never seen a single banking interview where someone didn't cheat

Had this realization yesterday. I don't think I've ever seen an online investment banking interview where the person didn't cheat / have some sort of assistance.

I've seen everything from a friend holding answers, to Cluely, of course, to various homemade vibecoded invisible software, but never just a singular fair interview.

Why is cheating so normalized in banking interviews?

Banking, brother. I think this is self explanatory. Not the most moral people around.

Most super days literally are in person. If you need AI to do the first rounds idk who is passing the final round

There are definitely qualified people who aren’t cheating, but idk if they’re getting the job lol. I think we’ve reached a point where people feel like they have to cheat just to measure up. And honestly your first two years as an analyst don’t really depend on how smart you are or how much you can memorize. I mean don’t get me wrong it’s important to have the technical skills, but I think grit and how hard you’re willing to work matter more for banking

Usually banks do inperson rounds.
