Behavioral Technical Presentation Case

We started with a screening interview, then I had 30-minute one-on-one video calls with each team member over Zoom. After that, I did an in-person presentation of a case study stock pitch. While the interviews weren't super technical outside of the case study, they did ask me about specific financial metrics for companies I mentioned.

Behavioral Technical

So the interview process was a bit of a mixed bag. Started with a Teams call which was pretty chill, mostly just chatting about my background. Then they flew me out to their office for the second round. That one was way more intense, with a heavy focus on market and real estate knowledge. It felt like a great opportunity and the interviewer was really good, but sadly it didn't work out.

The first interview lasted about 20 minutes and included typical PE questions. The interviewer said I'd hear back in a week, but they never even sent a rejection email, they just ghosted.
