The research is considered primo ....can you live in Manhattan and comute to NJ?

That's actually a wonderful commute. You'd be going opposite the traffic each direction, it'll be a breeze. I use to go the other way with everybody else, and let me tell you, that was pretty rough.

Sure. Again it was my friend, but he told me a lot. Got the interview through a guy that was an Alumni. Then did a phone interview with basic ER questions, like walk through a I/S B/S C/F etc., why do you want to do ER. One question at the time, last year, was: why should I give you this job when there are so many applicants with more qualifications One other question: if you have cash on the B/S of $500 what does it show on the c/f. That's all I remember he said about the phone interview.

Then was called for a 'model test' where he was sent an empty model and a 10Q and ask to fill out the model and build a valuation method of his choice. Also had to write a report covering some specific things (company overview, etc). He could use any public source, not just the 10Q. After that, he was flown to Baltimore and interviewed with the ER head, and apparently like 13 other ER people. Finally, the person called him and said they liked him and had to figure out what they were going to pay.

I might have answers to other questions if you have something specific.

I do not know what a beverage comp is?

 

Yep did a DCF. His position, and the one I got, were for 2-3 years experience. Networking sometimes gets you in quicker. Also, for exit ops, I know another older guy (29 maybe?) that worked at Stifel out of school. Got his CFA and worked there up to his first senior gig, and now works at Goldman. Last I heard he got a 50k signing, 150k base and idk about bonus. He is a senior analyst at the VP level, but did know the MD pretty well.

What sector are you interviewing for?
