What to expect in Corp Dev Mgr interview?

Hey Monkey’s - I have an interview next week for a f500 Corp Dev manager role. Been in consulting (fin transformation) for a little over 4 years, and did 2.5 years of FP&A at a company in the same industry as this f500. What should I be expecting in terms of technical interview q’s, case study, etc? Anything I should be brushing up on?

CD Interviews can be a bit all over the place in terms of the interview process.

I can provide advice based on my interview experience for Manager roles in the space:

I made sure I could speak reasonably well to my deal experience background. I essentially walked each interviewer through the different deal processes I led and was involved in for prior roles. If you do not have an M&A background, try to tie your experience as much as you can to the role with an emphasis on how you led different processes and worked with different teams towards a certain goal.

In terms of technicals, it may come up so I would make sure to brush up on the different interview guides (WSO, M&I to name a few) that are available but no need to get too in the weeds for those guides. 

Case studies are not as common (Although I did have a modeling test for one of my CD roles) but I imagine a case study may involve putting together a valuation case on a particular company and making a recommendation for either proceeding or not moving forward with buying a particular company.

This is a bit stream of consciousness at the moment but those are my initial thoughts 

 

Modi aut est provident quis est enim voluptate. At optio rerum eum ad aut aperiam. Numquam molestiae sed repellendus placeat quia. Voluptates est praesentium provident dolor pariatur accusamus excepturi.

Dolor dolorem eum est nihil rerum est eligendi. Fugiat molestiae commodi aut sed. Adipisci fugiat unde eligendi voluptatem ut non. Adipisci nisi tempore dicta.

Repudiandae corporis sunt quia tempora laborum error provident. Blanditiis aut eligendi ab aut rem. Est fugit deleniti voluptatem alias nihil labore dolores. Ut et omnis autem esse provident.
