Thank you so so much rly appreciate It
PM me if you want more info, recruited heavily with LT
went to a target and first round last year in April / May (?) was an alum analyst, half technical half behavioral. second round was the same but it was an associate. aside from basic 3 statements / accounting / valuation, they went into some merger math but very high level on LBO (like asking for definition).
SD was with 2 VPs, completely behavioral - you need to have good reasons why boutique, why TMT/specifically media and vibe with the people. definitely emphasize you want to work really hard to learn a lot because theyre known for being 100+ hour week grinders. one VP told me anecdotes of SAs being lazy / wanting to coast so they obviously really want to avoid that.
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it! I actually had my first round already and it was very focused on tech-related technicals lol. I appreciate the insight if I am lucky enough to get a second round—was this for the nyc or sf office?
this was for NY, what was yours for?
Have you heard back about next round yet?
no, did u? I feel like we are the same 2 ppl talking anon lmao
Lol no I actually just found this thread. Nothing yet. Have you heard of anyone getting a SD?
Anyone hear back from SD last week?
