Just went through a FT process at a MM and the technicals were extremely light. I’m assuming if you already went through a SA stint, they know you most likely were grilled to secure that internship and know the basic technicals at that point. I thought there would be tricker technicals as well, but I got asked to walk through the typical sell-side deal process and CIMs way more than I got asked to walk through a DCF or LBO. Also, if you have any deal experience be ready to explain every part of your involvement with it. Of course you should know technicals front and back anyways for safe measure.

 

thats really interesting. was ur SA at a reputable firm? just wondering if they give people with good SA internships a lighter interview and grill people with random SA internships that prolly didn't have a rigorous process
