The Wells interview covered a lot of the advanced valuations and DCF material you can find from BIWS. It was harder because it was 30 min interview of straight technicals. It was just question, answer, and next question with no break or small talk. After I said “hello, pleasure to be here, thanks for taking the time", my interviewer start bombarding me with technicals.
I dont know everyone in the sophomore class but I would say close to 100% of them got the return. The standards for sophomore was ridiculously low at times (i.e. one of my analysts didnt expect me to know what DCF stood for).
In some ways, I feel underprepared especially since the standards will be higher next summer. Like I mentioned above, I was given less technical work than the juniors and there was less expected of me so I didnt get the opportunity to learn certain things/staffed on certain deals. But I do feel like I have a good understanding of the group dynamic and how everything works which will help next summer. It wont be as daunting if anything.
