New York, NYPosted Aug 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I had a phone screen by an analyst and it felt relaxed in tone.

The questions leaned into valuation and basic finance reasoning—things like comparing a 10k per year figure versus 1 mil now, plus TVM-style thinking around interest. They also asked about interests and extracurriculars, and I got hit with some mental math.

Overall it was approachable, but the mental math and TVM/valuation mix meant I couldn’t just rely on general motivation questions. I had to think on the spot.

I didn’t get an offer. The reflection I kept was that the interview was friendly, but the content was still technical enough that I needed my fundamentals to be automatic.
