Which office is it?
As a summer analyst the bar in terms of technical skills might be set lower. But you will typically be assess on your logical/business reasoning in some atypical consulting case studies - this could be a guestimate or just being asked to draw up the IS and BS for a producing company using your own assumptions.
Things to always prep for:
Financial modelling: 3SM, structuring a workbook, keeping it nice and tidy and easy to follow, you are unlike to be asked to perform a LBO, DCF, STCF or debt capacity model at your level.
Remember that cultural fit is a bit thing at A&M and that you will likely have 3-4 rounds (depending on the office) with mix of personal and tech interviews and during this time it will be 1-2 persons in the interviews. So you will most likely meet around 6-8 ppl from the team.
Good luck and feel free to PM if you have any other questions
thanks sm for the info! its for the atlanta office. do you happen to know what the excel assessment in the second round would look like? is it just the 3sm like you mentioned? i actually didn’t even apply to restructuring but somehow got an interview so i’m not really familiar with banking technicals
