EY TAS Valuation and Business Modeling

I recruited heavily for IB from a top target school but haven't had any luck yet. I have an interview set up with EY Valuation and Business Modeling this week and was wondering if anyone can speak at all to this division.

-How similar/different would it be to an analyst role at an investment bank?
-Any interview advice? Not quite sure if I should expect standard valuation, IB type technicals.

If anyone can speak at all to this division at EY please help me out!

The job can be quite different in that you spend about 50% of your time doing purchase price allocations. I would be familiar with PPA's and be able to talk high-level about them. Macabus I believe has some good information on them. Otherwise you will have much less hours, lower pay, less pressure, and work on more unique projects and span across more industries.

Here would be my advice for interviews based on my experience and others I have talked to.

  1. Have a good chronological story that led you to this job
  2. Know exactly why you want to work in the valuation group at EY (why not IB, research, etc) VERY important
  3. Higher focus on behaviorals than technicals (show you are hardworking, can learn quickly, passionate, and bring a positive personality)
  4. As far as technicals go, it didn't get too tough. (Know the valutation techniques, how you would value x, walk through DCF)
  5. Most people got a brainteaser or two
  6. Be a likeable guy who can bullshit with the interviewer (Some people had 30 minute rooms of just talking about random shit)

Hope this helps. If you have any further questions you can shoot me a pm and I'd be happy to help out the best I can.
