"Walk me through a DCF"
Is there a question guide? Lol questions are whatever they feel like talking about tbh
At a SM and have interviewed candidates, ignore title.
People think these SM processes are solved like PE/IB. lol this isn’t something you can memorize or rehearse in order to get it right. We can ask you whatever we want. Doubt most places even use a question sheet, more so just what the interviewer is feeling it at the moment.
"How is your father?"
There is no guide lol what
The biggest questions and the only ones that really matter
- Explain to me your investment process
- Pitch me an idea
