Ardea Partners Interview
Has anyone interviewed for an IB analyst spot at Ardea before? I have an interview with them coming up and I want to know how to best prepare/what to expect.

Analyst 1 in Research - FI, hey, look at the bright side, at least you didn't get a ton of monkey shit thrown at you...here is my best guess on threads that might be helpful:
More suggestions...
Hope that helps.
Have an interview there soon, how was it?
Wasn't too challenging. The questions I was asked were basic behavioral ones (your resume, what you're doing at work now, how it translates into the the new role, why IB, why Ardea, etc.). Then the technicals were: Walk me from revenue to FCF, walk me through the cash flow statements (i.e. name the three different parts and what's in them), and walk me through a DCF.
Then they mentioned the second round is speaking with a bunch of other people on the team. Third round is a modeling test (I would imagine a DCF but I couldn't be 100% sure).
Good luck!
Thank you! This was very helpful.
