Interview
After reaching out to a childhood friend who was an exiting member of the Los Angeles team, I was contacted via email to set up a 1-on-1 phone call with an associate. Most of the interview comprised of behavioral questions. As I was a Sophomore in College at the time, I did not have much relevant experience in the field so we spent most of the interview running through my resume and the experiences I had up to that point.

The technical portion of the interview were very basic Investment Banking questions ranging from; Why investment banking?, What do you imagine your average day on the job would look like?, Do you know what an LBO/DBO is, and if so please walk me through the process.

Overall, the interview was very nice and accommodated areas where I was obviously struggling.

2 preliminary Zoom interviews, followed by a 7-person super day ranging from analysts to MDs. The first two rounds were technical, and the analyst, associates, and VPs asked technicals during the super day.
Interview Questions
Most of the technicals were straight out of the guide. Walk through 3 statements, DCF, LBO, etc. There was a heavy emphasis on LBOs for me, as I had previous experience in a modeling course. I was asked some random behaviorals: "How would your mom describe you vs. your siblings?" and "Describe your perfect day to me."

The interview process at Deloitte is cake. For audit, there are no case studies. Every part of the interview is behavioral and as long as you don't sound like an incompetent fool, you will get the job. While being a CPA is not the most glamorous position, Deloitte recognizes that they are one company of thousands hiring future CPAs.

I got the interview from a distant relative that was an associate in the group. The initial interview was technical as they asked all basic technicals (What are DCF, Comps, EV, WACC), but then it got into more of restructuring based questions such as the hierarchy of debt, covenants, and more about distressed M&A. Interviewers were all nice and respectable. Got past the first two phone screens and made it to the super day where the restructuring question became a lot more of the interview question and a lack of knowledge in that product was why I did not get an offer.
