InterviewApplied online. Few weeks later contacted to take modelling test. Fairly simple, with debt but no waterfall. Phone call to review modelling test a week later, followed by a written case study. Did not pass and was ghosted. Later heard there was a poor culture with subpar pay, and ok exit opps so in the end not too dissapointed.
Interview QuestionsThere were no difficult interview questions as the phone call was just to review the model and describe my background. But the case study asked to review brokerage research reports and summarize a macro view and an asset class in 1 hour which seemed too short.
The “Warm-Up” Question: “So, tell me about yourself.”
Essentially, your interviewer is looking at how well you can communicate. Are you going to talk about your hobbies and adventures or are you going to keep it professional?
