2027 Summer Analyst

Got invited for a first round interview with Intrepid Partners IB, which focuses exclusively on on O&G in Houston. Definitely a more buttoned-up, cliquey culture but still an exceptional group based on my interactions.

Had coffee chats that went well over the phone and talked with some of the team at the information session on campus as well. Interview openings were sent out via an application on an internal school site, and they selected candidates for both interview and alternate spots.

The interview structure was in-person and (mostly) straightforward. I was asked basic behavioral (WMTYR, why energy, etc.) and surface-level industry knowledge questions. Much of the technical side of the interview (aside from common 400 questions) was a discussion around the WACC curve (drawn out) and more complex scenarios that would alter it that were energy-specific and general.

Didn't get superday, but still a great process and shop.
