Please describe the interview / hiring process.
The interview consisted of three rounds :
Phone interview first, then I got called after a week. the first round was with an MD only which consisted of fit questions such as why PE, why Fidelity, tell me about your story and so on. very classical question and no tricks. however, on the tech part, it was more challenging since he asked me about my previous internship and how did the company business model be, and if I would invest in the company or not and why. the tech questions mostly consisted of testing me if I had an investor mindset or not.
the 1 on 1 interview was a lot trickier since it involved walking through a DCF that I mentioned on my resume. it was a Senior Associate and while I was going through the DCF he asked me technical questions such as: why did the company preferred high-yield and not banking bonds? how did you estimate it? the fit part was much similar to the first part such as tell me your story, why PE, why Fidelity.
Then I had another 1 on 1 interview with a VP, this time it was mostly tech questions on LBO and IRR, he also asked me on which industry I would invest and why. he also asked me some brainteasers.
