first IB interview
Ok so I go to a small state school in North Carolina and got in touch at a boutique IB specializing in M&A through cold calling/e-mail. One of the manging partners spoke to me over the phone, very laid back questions. It has been a couple weeks and another managing partner wants to speak to me over the phone, however he/she is very busy with transactions/deals and needs a few days to catch up. In the mean time what should I expect from the actual face-to-face interview. I have no IB/finance experience. Recently interned at a very small accounting firm this summer. Since I do not go to Wharton, no IB or consulting firms recruit at my school, so I'm trying to get part-time experience with this IB firms this fall so I can land something at a middle market firm or Wells/BofA hopefully in M&A as a summer analyst next year through networking.
Major is Econ and Finance I'm a junior. I took upper-lever accounting classes this summer and some electives for business major and a couple econ classes which put me on the junior spot. I have not taken any classes in finance.
What should I expect from this interview due to my lack of upper level business classes and relevant work experience?
Read Dealbook, know the principle valuation techniques and be solid in competency. You'll be fine.
thanks walkio. anyone else who has experienced a first interview at a boutique IB during their junior year? should i get any technical questions? what kind of work would i normally get? what kind of questions would be smart to ask them after the interview?
how would you create a cashflow is a question i got...very simple.....Sounds like you know your accounting which is important and people dont realize it. Walkio hit the nail on the head with the rest of it.. good luck
is this the same at cash flow budget? or statement of cash flows? (cash flows used/provided by operating/investing/financing activities)? im so nervous these guys sounded like sharks over the phone.
