New York, NYPosted Jan 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a fairly standard but finance-specific funnel where the early work was assessed with a real-world valuation exercise, then followed by a same-day superday style.

Initial round (HireVue + finance task) — I completed a video interview and also had a paper LBO analysis as part of the first stage, alongside behavioral questions.
Superday (multiple interviews on the day) — I moved into several interviews with different team members, mixing behavioral and technical topics aligned to the role.
Team-focused discussion — In another version of this pathway, I had analyst and VP interviewers joining the call, covering motivation and technical elements. Outcome: I didn’t receive an offer, and I learned that valuation/credit modeling practice
