Everything to prepare for a TD Securities interview: why the firm, and the questions candidates there reported being asked.
From the inside
Reasons that work in interviews
4 reasons for TD Securities
The Cowen acquisition bolted a genuine US equities, research and healthcare/tech franchise onto a Canadian bank, which no Big Six peer has done at that scale.
That integration is still live, so juniors are working on a platform being assembled rather than one that settled a decade ago.
Strongest domestic rates and government debt franchise, so DCM and rates exposure here is deeper than coverage-only shops.
Senior bankers have traditionally stayed longer at TD than at any other Big Six bank, and the client relationships run just as deep — the same coverage names on the same accounts for decades.
