Interview
I applied through the company portal uploading my CV and Cover Letter. I received an email from hiring manager 1 month later inviting me for a phone interview. Phone interview consisted of very general questions, with background, interests, motivation and basic behavioral questions (30min). I was then invited for a virtal modelling interview for 90 minutes. It was an moderately difficult valuation case testing on DCF, IRR, NPV and WACC concepts. The interviewer grilled me on several concepts till he was satisfied. A week later, I received an invite for the final interview, which comprised of 3 back to back interviews with different senior managers/managers of the team. It was completely behavioral at this stage and did not have a clear objective in my opinion apart from assessing the motivation. Overall, the wait for the first interview was a bit long, but the process moved smoothly after that. I had a pleasant time talking to all the people, except for the financial case interview which seemed like a stress interview. I suggest that candidates brush up on all basic valuation concepts and prepare to work and walkthrough excel real time. Behavioral interviews were straightforward.
I received the verbal offer from HR 5 days later with offer terms. Once I accepted, they shared the offer letter

Presentation
Interview
Recruiter reached on on LinkedIn.

You’ll be interviewed initially by the recruiter who gives you more detail on the role and the groups with open spots. Uncapped commissions on renewable energy credit sales.

You’ll then meet with a Sales Desk Manager or two and they will essentially be your direct report. If you pass the 1 on 1 with them you’ll be asked to make a case study and present to a large group in the office.

If you pass that you continue onto the hire or pass phase. They’re looking for people ok with cold calling but more consulting experience is valued. It helps to be very sociable and have some level of renewables knowledge/background you can speak to.
Interview Questions
You’ll be grilled on basic renewables knowledge. Be ready to take a position on wind/solar and even your stance on nuclear as a renewable option at all. If you can speak to niche subjects like small modular reactors in the nuclear space for example, you’ll stand out.
