VP introducing me to team- need advice!!!
After I reached out to a IBD VP to catch up, she said to come by and she'll introduce me to her team. She also said that I should know my shit well. She's in an industry group that has their own recruiting pipeline, and I'm recruiting for SA2019 right now.
Need advice on how this will all go down. Do I just shake their hands and catch up with the VP, or will I be chatting with her team members. Would I be the one asking questions or will they be testing my sector knowledge? What types of questions would I ask in this type of situation? Obviously I'm gonna research the group she covers, but other than that not sure how I should prepare for this.
Also, would I need to wear a blazer when going to their office even if it's 90 degrees out, or is a white dress shirt and slacks fine too?
Thanks
It definitely sounds like you are gonna be interviewing, wear what you would wear going in for an interview.
Her saying you should know your shit well should give you everything you need to know
You should probably know EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING. This seems like an interview.
How old are you?
(1) Wear prof. clothes (2) Know recent deals in the industry (3) Know how to do DCF, LBO, Accr / Dil, multiples etc (4) Be presentable - haircut etc (5) Know your CV well (6) Research their backgrounds (7) Be fun
Not an interview but if you will come out as a robot / nerd with no personality, you won't see them again
What is an LBO, accretion and dilution?
you need to learn how to google, my dude
I don't Google in my country.
What’s google?

I'm a rising junior in college recruiting for summer analyst 2019. i've met her for coffee before and she said i should reach out in a couple weeks and she'll introduce me to people. so i reached out yesterday and i'm meeting them tomorrow.
the conversation happened this morning, and I'm meeting her team members tomorrow...
time frame is very very slim, so would love advice on what to focus on.
when she said know your shit, she was referring to sector knowledge by the way, so not sure if should be expecting any advanced technicals. she's also super chill/friendly/lively, so don't think it'll be a very formal interview.
thoughts??
I'd spend 3-5 hours this evening reviewing anything deal-related within their industry in addition to hammering the basics of DCF/LBO modelling.
Update us tomorrow evening. You'll do well.
thanks, and will update tmr.
the group doesn't do traditional DCF models, they create models differently, but feels like that's an entire genre of types of technicals i'll have to prepare for
also any advice on how to come off as personable and conversational tomorrow? don't want to sound scripted especially since it's not that formal but also want to be very prepared
Be yourself. Try to smile a bit.
You should treat this like a superday...had something similar when I was going through my interview process where the director phrased it like I would come in and meet a few of the team members. Wear a suit and tie, bring a couple copies of your resume and know your technicals / your story
good luck mate, you'll do great. keep us updated. best
