ParisPosted Mar 2016 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I got an interview opportunity because my resume had been forwarded to a partner, and once I got into the process, it was extremely hard.

The questions were heavy on LBO-style analysis, and the technical content didn’t feel limited to a single theme.

I faced valuation questions, including something tied to DCF, and then accounting topics like consolidation and deconsolidation of subsidiaries via the equity method. There was also accretion and dilution work as part of the technical stretch. Overall, it felt like they were testing both breadth and depth at the same time, and I left the interview with the sense that it was beyond what most screening rounds try to do. I didn’t receive an offer.
