Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Valuation Research.
Financial Analyst
I had one interview with an MD and then a second interview with 2 VPs. It wasn't a tough technical interview, it was super conversational and they didn't really have a rigid structure. If you know your stuff for the level you're applying for and can hold a conversation, you'll be fine.
- Can you tell me about your previous experience?
- What about this role interests you?
Financial Analyst
The interview process isn't very structured. You first meet with 2-3 partners. If they like you, you then meet the CEO, who makes the final decision. However, sometimes the partners make the call. They tend to hire fresh graduates or individuals from bulge bracket firms. People from Big 4 are not as common here.
- Could you start by telling me about yourself?
Financial Analyst
The interview process involves questions about fundamental company analysis, such as CAPM, DCF, and DDM. These are pretty basic questions that someone with a finance degree should know. You'll pick up the rest on the job. Some of the partners acted a bit arrogant.
- Can you explain the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)?
