Financial Technology Partners SA 2021
Hey everyone,
I just got a hirevue type interview for FTP's 2021 SA in SF. Did anyone else get this? I also wonder when their process kicks off.

Also got the video interview for NY. Following.
I applied for both - no idea why they gave me SF.
Same
I have Superday friday for SA NY
Do you have another exploding offer?
No, was mistakenly put in FT pool and HR didn't realize till after I got superday but they said its fine
Got one too- following
following
Does anyone have any idea what kind of technical questions will be asked. I've heard they have one of the toughest technical interviews on the street.
If you don't know black sholes by heart, quant-fund brainteasers, and where the fintech space is going in 10-yrs, you're fucked!
Really depends on your interviewers. I was ready to go bananas on some fama french, but got simple DCF and accounting questions instead (1 each). Also if they think you are impressive, they seem to just assume you know certain questions. I only finished 60% of my DCF answer before the guy moved on, assuming I knew the rest.
How did it go for you?
Did anyone complete it yet?
Anybody know what to expect on the first round?
Has anyone done the hirevue
I did it. It was relatively chill - typical behavioral questions tbh, and some technicals which were not hard. You should be more than fine. You also have unlimited tries to record your answers lollll. You might as well knock it out.
Can I PM you
Has anyone heard back
They said they would review them on a rolling basis over two weeks, but I have not heard anything.
bump
For FT (or SA even) are the super days done in batches? or on a rolling basis? Wondering if my SD was against other's or whether they are assessing me as an individual.
When did you have your super?
Second half of last week
Anybody heard back after they submitted the hirevues? Ik they said they are reviewing on a rolling basis.
Anyone know what to expect on the second round? Just heard back.
Which office?
which office? And anyone else heard back?
Got my offer a month ago
Did you have another exploding offer and did you accelerate the process?

Anyone know how many spots are left? Just got a hirevue
If we completed the hirevue and haven't heard back, are we pretty much dinged at this point?
Same sutuation
I just got a hirevue so maybe they are doing a late SD?
Completed hirevue but haven't heard back
Did anyone else get an interview yet?
I did, what office did you apply for?
SF
Just got a rejection.
I'm sorry to hear that, which office was it for?
It was for SF. I tried accelerating since I had an exploding offer. It looks like they weren't very amenable to it.
Got it, I'm for NYC. Congrats on your other offer though!
Thanks! Good luck to you on the rest of your recruiting process!
Got an interview request for SF. Had hireview 2-3 weeks ago I think.
Got a NYC interview request
Anyone have any insight to the next round? Doesn't seem like an SD yet
Hirevue, vídeo interview, superday
Hirevue, vídeo interview, superday
Has anyone had an interview for SF
Has anyone gotten a superday? Any advice on what to expect?
Did you have first round yet? If so how was it?
Interviews with every level from analyst to MD. Lower levels were less technical surprisingly. Depends really on who your interviewer is.
Interviews with all levels. Lower levels were all behavioral. Upper a mix of each.
How does FT Partners compare to MM banks?
Deal flow is insane. All transaction-focused, little to no pitching, and they charge insane fees because they do so many transactions. Also comp is above street
Comp is definitely not above street
No pretty sure comp is above street. Heard starting base is 90k?
Nah base is 85
Anyone have insight into first round?
For me, first round was 2, 30 minute video interviews. It was all pretty behavioral and basic technicals.
Questions I got were:
1. Tell me about yourself
2. Why Investment Banking?
3. Why FT Partners?
4. What was the most difficult class you've taken?
5. Tell me about your most recent internship experience, what was a project that you've done, what did you learn?
6. Tell me about this other work experience you have
7. What are some valuation methodologies?
8. Why is LBO considered the floor?
9. How do you get to unlevered free cash flow from revenue?
Good luck!
Would it just be the ebit(1-tax)+d&a-capex- change in nwc? or is there a specific way to calculate from revenue?
Anyone done their superday yet?
I just had my Super Day recently. Waiting to hear back.
should be hearing today or monday prob? What day was yours
Just got a assessment test? Do all applicants get this or is it a selective?
Everyone does it. Goes assessment test > hirevue > first round > maybe another second round > super day
Just got a hirevue. Does everyone get this after the assessment or no?
Did anyone receive superday invite for SF office?
Interviewed two weeks ago.. haven’t heard back yet..Are you interviewing for FT or SA?
this is for SA position, I had my first round of interviews last week and haven't heard back...
Anyone hear back from SD's this week? I had mine on Monday.
It took them a couple weeks to get back to me. I think they've had multiple waves of superdays.
How long did it take back for first round interviews? I got a calender link invite last week on Thursday but no update, any chance all spots for filled for San Fran?
Anyone heard back from FT Partners SA for the London Office? Was also wondering where recruiting is in the process
someone said hiring is frozen in london but I'm not 100% sure
In London or NYC? Thought they posted jobs recently which would be counter intuitive
Anyone else get an offer yet? Accepted an offer for SF SA tonight. Interviewed October and this month.
Are they still sweaty af?
I also received an offer for SF on Saturday
When did you guys have your SDs?
Recently had my first round. 2, 30-min calls. How long after first rounds do people hear back for SD?
I heard back within 30 seconds actually. They emailed me right after the first round to schedule the superday.
