M&A Strategy Summer Associate

The interview was an on-campus interview (MBA). It had two parts. The first part was purely behavioral and the second was a case. The behavioral I had was not so standard. The interview and I went through M&A a lot more than my personality and background (by the way, I was interviewing for an M&A related position). Before the interview kicked off, the interviewer confirmed with me the subgroup I would be interviewing. Clearly, this firm had two separate arms for M&A strategy summer associate (one is the regular M&A strategy/deal management, and one is deal technology practice). The case was a regular case, which you definitely would encounter a lot during MBA consulting club casing review. But! Since this firm is very M&A heavy, the case was highly M&A related. And! M&A, by definition, is merger and acquisition, but you should be open to situations related to selling and spinning off.
