First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Sellside Group.
Analyst
It was pretty simple. They asked about my experience and to create a list of companies to source from. Then they wanted me to pick one company from that list and pitch it to them, and they also checked if I knew some finance.
- What was your thought process for creating the sourcing list?
M&A Analyst Intern
The first 30 minutes was dedicated to presenting my project. After that, I was asked about myself, my background, and my motivation for this role. I also received feedback on my presentation. The interviewer was very friendly.
- What about yourself?
- What is your experience?
- What is your interest level for this role?
Business Development Consultant
The interview process isn't too bad. It'll have some behavioural questions to get to know you, some stuff about your resume, and then a second round where you pitch companies back to them and explain if they fit the criteria they give you.
- How did you go about choosing this list of companies?
- What was your strategy for creating this list of companies?
Intern
The interview process was very smooth and conversational, without any technical focus. Cole, who interviewed me, dedicated a significant amount of time to explaining the company. He then asked a couple of basic behavioral questions, such as why I was interested in M&A and the sell-side group.
- Can you explain your interest in the sell-side group?
- What is your motivation for pursuing M&A?
