Hi all,
I have my final interview with Citadel coming up next week and it entails a 5 hour long case study with DCF. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on their experience if they went through the same process?

5 hour case study seems ridiculously excessive. Do they expect you to take the day off work?
I feel like they should know enough about your abilities before a final round where a brief case study would be sufficient.
5 hours I would expect a full model build and some form of written pitch/presentation with a long, short, pass decision. Likely Q&A to grill into your assumptions, so pay close to attention to your revenue and cost drivers/build.
Can I shoot you a PM?
Mind sending me a PM? Interested to learn more and willing to pay for advice.
