Hi guys,
I'm an economics graduate that is having a 2nd round interview with DFI [for London] (RE PE), and they told me that in this case, the 2nd round will be a 2-hour case study in excel. I asked for some more information, but have not received any answer me and I have no idea what to prepare. Any thoughts?
I don't have that much experience in modelling, and it's supposed that the role does not require any experience...
Some help here would be lovely.
Kind regards :)
