Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Solomon Partners.
Investment Banking Intern
First round screener, asked many technicals on medium sections of the M&I 400, and very serious people over the phone. Know your technicals from the basics to the intermediate stuff.
- Could you walk me through three financial statements?
- What would you say if there was 10 dollars in depreciation?
- Can you walk me through an LBO?
Investment Banking Intern
It was a single 30-minute Zoom interview with an associate. They actually found a candidate the same day, so I didn't get a second round. The interview was pretty standard, similar to other ones I've had, nothing really stood out as unique.
- Could you start by telling me about yourself?
- Can you explain the process of a leveraged buyout (LBO)?
- How do you link the three main financial statements together?
Intern
The interview process was calm. I spoke with two analysts; one seemed happy, the other annoyed. It felt like a standard IB interview, but quite dry, like they were just going through the motions. Overall, it was a boring but straightforward experience. They won't contact you if you're rejected.
- Can you explain the three main financial statements?
- Could you describe valuation metrics?
- Tell me about your interest in this bank.
