Two 1-1 MD final rounds instead of superday? What to expect?
Had an unconventional first round with a VP at a small MM office where I wasn't even asked a question, but we really hit it off in conversation and he was eager to get me a superday. The office has 6 people (2 MDs, 1 VP, 1 Associate, 2 Analysts) and the VP told me during the screening that he picked my resume and 9 others out of 400 applicants, going on to say that he already thought I was a good fit and didn't need to ask questions. I haven't even networked with this MM, it was a cold app. Now, instead of a superday, my final round is two separate 30min interviews with the MDs. Anybody ever had an experience like this? I'm trying to figure out what to expect during the interview question-wise.
TL;DR Had zero questions (behavioral/technical) during 1st round, instead of superday I have two MD interviews. What to expect?
Motivation why you want to join the firm, talk about your experience so far and questions you have for them - that will be all.
So no technicals? I didn’t get any technicals in the first round so I feel like it would be weird if I landed an SA position without any. Thx btw
Could be one or two, but will most-likely be very high-over and not in-depth.
They are going to ask you if a DTL reverses overtime in theory or in practice, make sure you know that a PIK interest and Dividends are taxed as ordinary income, and be ready for a quick little paper LBO.
I had a similar superday myself (1x 30-minute interview with MD and 1x 30-minute interview with Director) at a BB. The interviews went like this
I think odds are you’ll have something similar given your first round. Just have a good chat as you did in your first round and try to show eagerness towards whatever your interviewers work in. Personally I did a lot of research into the group I was interviewing with to ask thoughtful questions and that impressed both my interviewers enough to give me the offer.
I wouldn’t spend too much time on technicals if I were you. You got this, best of success!
