First Round M&A Analyst - London IB Boutique (Tech/FinTech)
Hi,
I have a first-round interview (MD of group) scheduled with a MM London Boutique (e.g. Baird, WB, Stifel, RJ) - transferring from Big 4 FDD having recently finished ACA exams.
Any tips on interview process and how this may differ vs. a graduate applying for an analyst position? I haven't prepared any IB technicals but coming from a big 4 background feel confident with any accounting-related questions. Is the first-round likely to be mainly behavioural/motivational?
Any recommended resources to learn more about the FinTech space?
Thanks
No clue about what they will ask in the interview. But for sector knowledge I highly recommend looking through market updates/sector overviews that investment banks regularly publish. For example, Houlihan Lokey has a FinTech market update which includes some information and head-/tailwinds of the sector.
MD will be probing your industry- and company-specific motivations so would prepare around that
and specifically why you are transitioning
