Anyone ever had to do a modeling test for Nomura? I'm interviewing from a smaller bank and want to know what to expect. I've done a few of these recently and they vary a lot from firm to firm as to what they expect; this one will be 90 minutes-2 hours.

FYI nomura is firing people now And is known for firing people once every 2/3 years
Pretty basic "here's a broken LBO model, fix the errors"
Thanks, would you mind PMing me when you interviewed and what group (or post if you're comfortable doing that)? I can't PM people yet.
Hi there, would there be any tips to score on this interview? Thank you!
