Hi Guys .. The interview went on well.. Most were expected questions... Debt restructuring..LBO Analysis, Valuation of different industries...In the end the interviewer asked me to email him a "fairly complex" financial model that I have created from scratch. He wanted to check my financial modelling skills as well. I would say a very positive interview.

Will greatly appreciate if anyone can help me with some feedback on the company and what should be the expected salary .

 

American angreji nahi samajhteho kya? These people are making fun of you for using the term "telephonic" which made me laugh as well.

 

What do you make now? Is this a step up, a step down or a step over? How different is the COL in the city where you currently lived compared to the city you would be moving to in order to take this job?

Do a little algebra and throw in ~15% of walkin around money. Thats how much you should ask for.

If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses - Henry Ford
