Qatalyst Partners First Round Interview for Full-Time
I just received an invite for a first-round interview with Qatalyst Partners for their full-time position for 2020 in SF. I currently am working as a summer analyst at a BB for S&T in New York, and this feels completely different considering its boutique, and investment banking in SF. Do you guys have any thoughts on how I can spin my upcoming summer experience to make it look favorable to a boutique investment bank? Do you think they would look down on it?
I also have very little experience in interviewing with a boutique firm at all, and most of my interviews were with Sales and Trading or Prop Trading firms. Do you guys know what to expect from Qatalyst? Other than the usual, why Qatalyst, why (tech) investment banking, etc. Has anyone had experience in interviewing with them before?
Qatalyst is a bunch of mavericks tbh. Don't feel like you'd be out of place there because you don't have traditional IB experience. But you need to be on top of your shit. Super sharp people there, probably some of the brightest on the street.
