Interview Details

What did the interview consist of?
1 on 1 Interview
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
Received a first round invite at some point in Late February. Had gotten connected to a recruiter as my resume had been flagged in the fall. About 3 weeks later heard from an associate asking if I could do a 1st round interview the next day. Interview went well, asked a few gut-check technicals (Revenue to UFCF, Valuation Methodologies, $10 million of depreciation, some merger math, accretion/dilution, etc) but it was very heavy on fit and and actual interest in Jefferies. Interviewer was a really good guy - super laid back and friendly. Heard back two weeks later regarding a superday met with an SVP and MD. SVP was big on fit, dug a bit on resume, but also asked a few gut-check technicals (ex. risks of the main valuation methodologies, how do you screen for comps.etc). MD was very conversational, but dug on resume again. Overall, very good people, somewhat unorganized but overall a pretty efficient process.
