Baird Lateral M&A Analyst Interview and Modeling Test

Hi Monkeys,

I have an upcoming interview with Baird for a lateral analyst position in an M&A group. I was told there will be a modeling test—likely an M&A or LBO model.

Could anyone share what the general interview process was like? And if you've taken the modeling test before, I’d really appreciate any insights.
