Hi folks,
Couple of days ago received an invitation for IB Off-cycle internship interview, any ideas on the rounds and the structure?
Kudos for good answers

Recently went through the process for the SA position. Here's what it was like:
1) First-round 15 min call with someone from Dartmouth Partners. Typical fit questions: Tell me about yourself, Why PWP, Why IB, Recent deal from PWP, Something not on your CV
2) Second-round 45 min Video Interview with Dartmouth Partners again: 80% technicals, 20% fit. You should be fine if you read the BIWS/WallStPrep guides, typical questions include Walk me through a DCF, and a bunch of "tell about the impact of $xxx increase on the 3 financial statements" questions
3) Assessment Center. 4 interviews with Associates/Directors + 1 one-hour case study (build a one/two pager of a company and explain why it would be a good or bad investment) + 1 math test. One of the 4 interviews is very technical, one is about the case study, and the remaining two are fit interviews
Best of luck
UK or US? Never heard of case study

Can second this
What are thoughts on Dartmouth Partners? Are they a solid group to work with?
My experience with them was great. They answered my emails timely and they gave me a feedback session before the AC. It was super helpful
However, I've seen a few posts in this forum about bad experiences with them in previous years
What did you say for why PWP?
it's all about the culture bro, learn it, that's why they create those website pages with "why we/culture/history/etc"
London or Europe? I didn’t see off-cycle positions on their page.

How technical is the PWP interview and what is their culture like?
