Based on the most helpful WSO content, lateral interviews at firms like Guggenheim typically involve a mix of behavioral and technical components. For example, candidates often face:
Behavioral Interviews: These focus on fit, resume walkthroughs, and deal experience. Questions may include "Why Guggenheim?" or "Why are you looking to lateral?" It's important to articulate how your background aligns with the firm's needs and culture.
Technical Assessments: Expect modeling tests or technical questions. For instance, candidates lateraling from Big 4 valuation roles into MM banks (like Guggenheim) have reported modeling tests as part of the process. These could include LBOs, DCFs, or other financial modeling exercises.
Networking Importance: Many lateral roles, including those at Guggenheim, are filled through networking rather than public postings. Building relationships with associates or other team members can help you get looped into the process.
Process Timeline: Lateral processes are often quicker than full-time recruiting, typically wrapping up in about 3 weeks from start to offer, depending on the group.
Preparation is key—reviewing deal experience, brushing up on technical skills, and leveraging resources like the M&I interview guide or modeling courses can make a significant difference.
