if this is your first call, it'll be with someone on their BD team. usually more behavioral, will dig into your background / experience, why looking to transition into public role, and any previous sector expertise / interest. doubt they'll ask for stock pitch (that's usually reserved for the actual pm). but the end of the convo is usually about team's that might be looking for analysts and whether you'd be interested in that location + sector/strategy
thanks!
I had to pitch a pair trade (= two stocks) in my first discussion with one of their BD representatives. They were quite into the weeds, took thorough notes (or they were playing the piano on the call...) and also had some follow up questions. Also be prepared to show them what industry you would like to cover and why. This was for Surveyor,
super helpful thank you! i had the interview and they did ask for a stock pitch. well see how it goes
did you essentially do one L one S?
Yes, that's what I did, essentially trying to mimic their market-neutral style. Good luck!
