Analyst Interview - Generalist
After this round of interviews, I was given a writing test. Apparently they have not had success with people with traditional finance / accounting backgrounds in terms of writing ability.
I was ultimately not offered the position and told the firm had chosen to go with someone first year out of school who they could mold, rather than someone with a few years of tangetially related experience.
Summer Analyst Interview - Investment Banking
The second round interview was basic technical questions. Three ways to value a private company, walk me through a DCF, and some basic math problems. The rest of the interview was all "tell me about your story type questions" and that was about it.
A week later I went to the Atlanta office for a 3rd round, in person interview. All went well, and the team skyped the NY office so I could meet some of the higher MD's. The interview was very "fit" based, and not very technical. After the hour-long meeting, I left and felt like I did well.
Around three days later I received an email from the original associate I had talked to. They offered me a summer analyst role, with a very small stipend at the end of the summer (~1500) as well as a free metro card for the summer.
The culture of TM Atlanta and NY was very typical of a small firm. Strong bond between the >20 people at each office. Most of the analysts, associates, and VP's all were into local sporting events and all seemed to be well-rounded and bright. For the most part, all were from elite private schools along the East Coast, with a sprinkle of Ivy Leaguers. In no way was the feel elitist or even intimidating, but their was a clear fraternity like spirit amongst the firm.
This question is just a nice way of re-phrasing "What are 3 ways to value a company?" I think it is supposed to trip candidates, but realistically you value private and public very similarly depending on the industry.
The answer here is obviously 80,000. The interviewer was just looking for you to think out loud and say "40 percent of 100,000 is 40,000, and double that is 80,000".
