Based on the most helpful WSO content, the Oaktree summer analyst interview process typically involves multiple rounds, with a mix of technical and behavioral questions. Here’s what you can expect:

  1. Behavioral Questions: These are designed to assess your fit for the firm and your motivations. Reflect on your past experiences, why you want to join Oaktree, and your interest in the industry. Avoid focusing on money as a motivator.

  2. Technical Questions: While the process may not be heavily focused on modeling, you should be prepared for classic technical questions to test your fundamental knowledge. Topics like accounting, valuation, and financial modeling basics (e.g., DCF, LBO, Comps) might come up.

  3. Case Studies: In some cases, you may be given a case study to analyze and present your recommendations. This could involve private credit or discretionary investing scenarios, so be ready to showcase your analytical skills.

  4. Fit and Culture: Oaktree values candidates who align with their culture and investment philosophy. Be yourself and demonstrate your ability to think critically and bring a unique perspective.

If you’re in the second round, focus on refining your technical skills and preparing for potential case studies. Good luck!
