Deal experience, modeling test, technicals, and maybe a deck to mark up.
Modeling test at the associate level? What might that look like?
We don't do that at mine but curious how that looks elsewhere.
EBs typically require more in-the-weeds work from associates — mine (re)instituted them after hiring a few too many ‘experienced’ MBA associate laterals with no clue what they were doing.
Expect some combination of AccDil, LBO, and DCF.
Just curious. What's a "deck mark-up"? Maybe we should implement that in our interviews xD
