Behavioral Technical Case

It was pretty laid-back, not too many tough questions. The first part was behavioral with a couple of light technical questions. The second round involved a case study where I had to analyze two companies and decide which one would be a better investment.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Can you explain the impact of a $10 increase in depreciation on the three financial statements?
  • Could you present a case study comparing two companies and recommend which one to invest in?

Behavioral Technical

I went through four rounds of interviews for this role earlier this year, but unfortunately, I didn't get the offer despite reaching the final stage. They didn't give a specific reason why. The position is still listed as open on their website and job boards, which makes me question if these jobs are actually available. You should apply at your own risk. Deal flow has also dropped significantly compared to last year, so I wonder if the company is experiencing difficulties.

First there was an HR chat, then I had 3 more rounds with different team members. Most questions were about me, but there were a few technical ones too. They let me know in about 2 weeks after the last talk.
