Phone Interview

Interview
Was referred by an employee who had recently left the firm. First phone call consisted of mostly background/fit questions. Came in for an in person a week after that. More fit questions and then technicals such as DCF walk through, how would I value a private company, how to calculate discount rates for a variety of projects.
Interview Questions
They really dug into details of the DCF. Where to obtain various line items and what type of things would impact them. Started asking about the other financial statements as well which I was not prepared for, specifically income statements which were a challenging to really analyze. How to explicitly calculate weighted average cost of capital, I knew the generalities here but the specifics which definitely hurt me. Finally they asked the classic how 100 increase in depreciation impact each financial statement. Thorough and challenging interview.
