Curious on what industry standard is when they ask you to build a model from a blank excel sheet in an interview for lateral. Do they give you the numbers/assumptions, or do they expect you to just make them up as you go?
is it expected to be asked in the first couple of interviews or is it more towards the super-days? Also, is it mostly for EBs and BBs, or all around the street including MMs?
