Interviewing with a US Small cap fund

Hello everyone,

Long time lurker and first time poster. So I've been interviewing with a US based small cap fund with AUM of $500 million. So far, I have had one basic interview, one case study and a case study discussion and I have sucess cleared all three rounds.

The next round entails a conversation with the Managing Direct and Co-founder of the fund and I was hoping that I could get some insights into what I should be expecting.

Thank you for your time!

Hey MohitAgarwal, I swear if I had a silver banana for every lonely thread I posted too I'd be richer than @compbanker ...

More suggestions...

I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
