Baird Lateral Analyst LBO/Case Study

Hi all,

I’m looking to lateral from outside of IB and have an LBO/case study assessment studied. I’m familiar with the concepts but have spent the majority of my career so far in heavy industry, so have no idea what to expect on the tests. Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated. I am happy to provide a full debrief for those interested once it’s completed.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, any idea on the superday timeline? Thanks. 


Looking at fishbowl and such it looks like it took them up to 6 months between initial interview and offer in some cases

 

Jesus. If you’re a lateral and can’t do a stupid LBO modeling test you probably shouldn’t get the job
