So how technical are modeling tests?
I can broadly do the simpler M&A and LBO models but I haven’t gotten the chance to fully understand the full length ones. Which ones do FT interviews usually do to test the candidate?

Is this for FT laterals, or FT undergrad recruiting?
I guess FT undergrad. I’m looking to lateral to a better group/bank for FT.
Huh, I didn't know that was a thing. Figured they would just have some technical interviews and that be that. I've heard alumni who lateraled talk about modeling tests but nobody for FT out of undergrad...
Yea I have spoken to people at different banks in coverage/M&A and they have said it has gotten more technical and expect some sort of modeling.
