Hey, is anyone able to shed some light on what the typical lateral process is at Evercore? Have an interview coming up soon and just want to make sure I prep appropriately (like technicals from the IB guides and stuff outside of speaking to my deal experience)

The Evercore lateral process typically involves a structured series of interviews, which can vary slightly depending on the group you're applying to. Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you can expect:
First Round: This is often a phone screen with a VP or Director. The focus is on behavioral questions, such as:
Second Round: This usually includes a 45-minute case study and a two-on-one interview. The case study will test your technical skills, so brushing up on your modeling (e.g., DCF, merger models) and valuation techniques is crucial.
Third Round: This is typically a series of interviews, which may include technical questions, deal experience discussions, and possibly a modeling test. The modeling test could involve building a DCF or merger model, so ensure you're comfortable with these.
For preparation: - Focus on technicals from IB guides, especially LBO modeling and valuation techniques. - Be ready to discuss your deal experience in detail, even if you're transitioning from a different role. - Practice behavioral questions to articulate your motivations and fit for the firm.
Good luck with your interview!
