By far the hardest interviews I have ever done, holy shit.
I recruited with another EB that is generally considered as being a a place with difficult interviews and they were easy compared to the shit I got while interviewing at FTP.
Fuck that place.

140k base what do u expect lol
Would you mind sharing some of the questions you were asked?
Definitely more helpful if you also elaborate on your experience than just saying these statements
Even the CEO can benefit from more info on the FT Partners interview process, cmon OP…
def asked whats the difference between 140k-110k
It's a sweatshop what'd you expect?
I got asked to find the number of windows in Manhattan (200 years from now) times the cube root of the 39th degree of the unit circle - all to calculate the annual increase in WC for my paper LBO that I had 6 minutes to complete
How you gonna hate from outside the club, you can’t even get in!!!! 😂😂😂

Didn't they lay off a bunch of people in December?
Yes
EB lol
I recruited here and actually got an offer but was so turned off by their interview process that I turned it down. Interviewing at BBs where they’re like “why do you want to be here” versus FT where they grilled me for an hour on LBOs for what was supposed to be a 30 min interview.
to be fair, I got like half their technicals wrong and they still moved me forward, so I think they just like to see how you respond. But who tf knows lmao
How was their interview process?
OP didn't really mention anything specific.
Yeah they probably just kept asking increasingly harder questions just to see what level you where at
I was convinced the sentence would end as “they just want to see how you struggle@
Skill issue
When a firm has to tout that they have the “strictest interview processes” in place and have these ridiculous interviews to try and come across selective when its not even a EB, top BB or MM, HF or even MF then that’s a major red flag. Like they are insecure trying to hide something. Theres a ton of other FinTech boutiques similar pay. Beyond pathetic try hards…
What other FinTech boutiques are there?
