I've got 2 years of experience and cleared CFA I3, plus I've done personal research projects. The interview included a deep dive into these personal projects, which I found helpful. We discussed the challenges I faced in data gathering, the assumptions I made, the model inputs, and most importantly, the business model of the company.

It was a long interview process, but definitely worth it. I had some great conversations with really smart and capable people. The role leans technical, but they also included a good mix of behavioral questions. Overall, it was a great experience, and the team seems really good.

Technical Behavioral

I had 7 rounds of video interviews with VPs to Directors, which took about 4-5 hours in total. Everything seemed to go really well, but then they just ghosted me. I reached out to HR, but never got a response. The interviewers and process were good, but the HR part was terrible. Even an automated reply would have been fine considering how long the process was. It really shows their lack of professionalism. I'd advise against applying and wasting your time.

Confirmed questions4 questions
  • Can you explain the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model, specifically focusing on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)?
  • Describe your method for valuing debt.
  • Explain the Black-Scholes model.
