Case Technical
The process involved several rounds. It began with casual coffee chats that eventually led to a first-round case study. The case study was pretty straightforward but required a solid understanding of renewables and project financing models. Following that, there was another interview with a banker. It took a while to get a response after that.

Technical Behavioral
So we had a modeling prompt first, then the Superday happened after women's day. The interviewers were really nice, and they asked some behavioral and some technical questions. You should definitely study up on IBD questions and also renewables-related concepts to prepare and show you're really passionate about it.
