For your upcoming Super Day with Houlihan Lokey's Business Services Group in Los Angeles, here's what you should know based on the most helpful WSO content:
Expect Technical Intensity: LA interviews, especially for groups like HL, are known to be very technical. Be prepared for paper LBOs and other modeling-intensive questions. Brush up on M&I Advanced Guides and BIWS 400 Technicals to ensure you're ready for any technical challenges.
Early Processes: HL LA tends to run early processes, so the competition is fierce. Make sure your story for "Why LA?" is strong, especially if you're competing against East Coast candidates.
Behavioral Preparation: Super Days often include a mix of technical, behavioral, and cultural interviews. Be ready to articulate your "Why HL?" and "Why Business Services Group?" answers clearly. Show genuine interest in the group and its focus areas.
Networking Advantage: If you've had prior networking calls with HL professionals, leverage those insights during your interviews. Mentioning specific conversations or advice you received can help you stand out.
General Super Day Tips:
Good luck with your Super Day! If you need more specific preparation tips, feel free to ask.

Have you heard back yet?
No I haven’t.
I‘m interviewing for nyc. Would you please share what they asked?
It was 2 behavioral and 2 technicals. The first technical was a breeze just some basic valuation questions walking the interviewer through your understanding. The next one was tougher. A lot of thinking outside the box questions and few brain teasers.
Were there any particularly unexpected behav like stock pitch? Thx
No not at all. The behaviorals were pretty conversational. They are really just trying to see if you are a good fit for the group. Make sure you have a good answer as to why the business services group.
