Phone Interview
1 on 1 Interview
Skills Test
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
- Phone Screen: Mostly behavioral. They focused on Why D.A. Davidson, Why group, and Why that specific city. Nothing technical here, more about culture fit and your interest in the firm. I also had to do an assessment after this as well, which was very technical (EV and Equity value and Accounting Q's) and a personality test.
- Second Round: Still light on technical. They had me walk through the sell-side M&A process and asked a couple of general market/macro questions just to see how I think about what’s going on in the economy.
- Superday: A few technical, but nothing outside of the usual. If you review the 400 technical guide and are comfortable talking through basic valuation/M&A concepts, you’ll be in good shape. There was also a continued focus on fit and communication since they really care about culture.
