Summer Analyst

Initially joined the Raymond James sophomore showcase that lead to the interview chance.

Choose to interview with the real estate group since you are only allowed to select one coverage or product group to interview with.

Interview was with two second year analysts and was a mix of technical and behavioral questions.

The interview started off pretty smooth with one interviewer asking typical behavioral (TMAY, walk me through your resume, what were your roles in previous internships) followed by questions on why I choose the group over the others.

Then we jumped into technicals with it mostly being very technicals to see if you has been prepping at all (3 statements, 10 dollars of depreciations, impact of PP&E increase, high level understanding of a DCF, what are the valuations methods and which has the highest premium, and since the groups dealt with lots of lending they asked about interest rates and what I expected they would be in the next few quarters)

Finally they opened it up to questions for me to ask and seemed really nice and gave tons of advice on how to approach a career in finance.
