Anyone know diversity timeline?
Superdays starting the week of Jan 21st
Are u diversity
no, but do you know if we are allowed to apply to multiple positions?
Got this from their careers website: "Candidates are eligible to submit up to two applications each year. If selected for a final round, candidates will select one location or position to interview and be considered for."
You are allowed to apply/interview for up to 2 different groups (eg: M&A and RX) but for each group can only interview for 1 location (eg: within M&A can only interview for NY or Menlo not both)
Here for updates
Are interviews confirmed for the week of the 20th? And how technical should we expect the questions to be?
Yep, I'm an incoming EVR SA at a target and according to the recruiter the Diversity deadline is Jan 19th but first rounds will start before the deadline and superdays will start the week of the 20th.
In terms of prep, there are typically 2 first round interviews with 1 or 2 behaviorals (TMAY, Why EVR) and the remaining 95% of the time on technicals and expect it to be tough (much harder than the 400 question guide). Would recommend Capital Interview Experts, I got the guides when I was recruiting and they helped me understand the technical concepts instead of just memorizing the answers so I could answer any variation of a technical during interviews.
They also have around 50 past Evercore questions and I personally remembered being asked 5 technicals straight from the question bank (check out the sample questions since it has EVR questions)
Do the sample questions for Evercore replicate the difficulty of questions we should expect in interviews? Cause they seem hard
whats div deadline?
was wondering what the 2nd first round is like? is it there a case study/ more behavioral?
Which guide do you recommend generally
can you share some of the technical questions if you remember? are you M&A? thanksss
Nothing crazy but interesting mental math was required for almost all questions. almost all the questions i was asked was already reported in eb interviews at the time which made things so much easier
Are rx first rounds out
Some, but it’s in waves
how do yk its in waves?
I networked at a top target and still haven’t gotten an interview invite. Normal?
Should all be done by the end of the month. So if all not out now then in a week at most I’d think.
.
Can I PM for questions?
Was fortunate to receive my RX first round! Any advice on what resources I should be leveraging to prepare (other than rxinterviewsdotcom)? Thank you!
when is ur interview
The final section of Gatto's credit investors handbook is great - happy to send over a digital copy and some other resources if you'd like!
Hi, I’d be super grateful if you could send me a digital copy and the resources you mentioned!
.
Can I withdraw to apply to a different role? Or am I locked in at the limit?
bump
any news on when M&A is coming out?
Bump
If we did one coffee chat, will we get an interview? (That’s what the person I spoke to said…)
my person said their policy is that every applicant only talks to one analyst and you're not supposed to reach out for more coffee chats. not sure if this means an interview is guaranteed even if you had that one coffee chat
My person said the same, but haven’t received an interview invite yet. Applied first day too - super odd.
Nothing is “guaranteed”. they had a ton of chats.
is it too late to network? applied but nobody responding to my coffee chat requests over the last month, still been sending them out but no responses
There def is still some hope. Keeps spamming emails and pray!
How many are we allowed to apply to?
2
How were rx 1rs? Harder than expected?
bump
does anyone know when equity research would be out, ty!!
anybody got first rounds for PFG yet?
Can anyone share what to expect for rx FR?
did u get an interview?
Yeah applied on day 1 got the interview 3 days later
did you end up getting a first round?
am i cooked if i didnt get a first round yet for rx (applied day 1, target, had a coffee chat)
same boat as you - makes no sense
What does not make sense here? The sheer gall of them to not give you the first round? Oh the horror!!!
has anyone heard back about evercore rx sd yet?
Did you already do 1R
following
no
have u heard back yet? i’m still waiting on mine
i know someone who said they got a super day...must be a lie tho (i didn't hear back)
are you da
Should I reach out to my contact if I got rejected? ( day 1, coffee chats, m&a )
rejections are out???
yeah did you get an actual rejection email or are you just assuming you got rejected since you didn't hear back yet for RX
.
That’s why I’m asking😂 even worth bringing it up at that point
Anyone have their 1R yet? what's the split on behaviorals/M&A techs/RX techs?
are we cooked if no first round for m&a yet? heard people are getting them + others getting rejections but I got nothing
Bump
bump
has anyone heard anything from shareholder advisory team yet? or is it just m&a that's been getting 1st rounds
Yes! Received word yesterday! Any insight into tech level for R1?
just heard back today as well but totally in the dark about what the interview will look like technical-wise—did you end up hearing anything>
How long after 1 rd will they send out superday?

Anyone heard anything for M&A?
Am I cooked if I didn't get a first round for M&A? Applied two days ago.
Did you get rejection email?
not yet
Only diversity is out
thank god
For M&A only or RX as well?
.
is all diversity for NY M&A out? or will it be sent in waves
Same qs for non diversity
anyone hear back after their 1st round for RX - non diversity & non-target?
bump
anyone know if they actually send out rejection emails or if they just keep you waiting?
they send rejections at one point or another
If you get a super day they send acceptance/rejection decisions within 1 day however if you only get a first round/no interview they send rejections once they are done recruiting
Heard NY RX is already done recruiting. Can anyone confirm if this is true?
Was offered a super day for week 27th - NY M&A - so clearly the process is still going
How long after your first rounds did it take for you to hear back?
when did u do first round?
when did u get first round?
This week
Did you receive an official email invite or just your alum telling you
Hi I just did my first rounds today. How long after your first rounds did it take for you to hear back?
Anyone heard back from S&T or Real Estate?
Del
I just received a first-round interview invitation for M&A NY. Could anyone share insights on the structure and difficulty of the interviews, such as the types of technical questions that might be asked? Any advice on preparation would be greatly appreciated!
What school?
NESCAC
When did you apply?
Jan 9 I think
Structure - Either 1 or 2 first round interviews depending on your school with basic behaviorals such as TMAY, Why Evercore, Why IB and the remaining majority of the time on technicals. From the first round it is directly to superday which tends to be the following week of your first round.
Difficulty - Evercore is an EB so you should expect extremely challenging technicals. One that I remember being asked is "A company has $100M of EBITDA. You purchase the company at 10x EBITDA with 40% equity stake. It generates LFCF of $150M. EBITDA does not grow, and after a period of time you sell for 10x EBITDA. Your MoM is 3x. How many years did you hold the company for?"
Advice - Personally used 400Q Guide & Capital Interview Experts and got the offer but general advice is have very refined answers for behavials. For example for why Evercore everyone says lean deal team but make sure you build on why a lean team interests you and potentially connect it to a story. For technicals, practice practice practice! Use guides and mocks but the more you practice the more likely you will practice a question that you will be asked in the interview.
Do u know how long typically after r1 u should hear back if u got the sd?
unrelated but would the answer to that technical be 5 and a third of a year?
Is the answer to the question 8 years?
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! One last question: if you encounter a technical question and clearly have no idea what the answer is, how would you respond to the interviewer?
For this technical question, isn't it impossible to generate MOM of 3x because initial equity would be 400m, and ending equity would have to be 1200m, but ev is only 1000m? Or am I being stupid
