Phone Interview
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
Everything was pretty standard. If you've gone thru the guides then there's nothing that should be unexpected. The most difficult question which in hindsight wasnt that hard, was "how do you calculate levered/unlevered beta?" It was mainly tough b/c I hadnt' studied much on beta specifically prior to the interview so the formula wasn't coming to me at the time. They also asked me what my favorite class was which was very unexpected but of course nothing I couldn't answer in the moment. As I said I felt pretty good after both rounds but I didn't study their deals and I feel like that's what got me dinged.
