Cornell Partnership Interviews
Hello everyone,
Has anyone had any contact with the Cornell Partnership (re Corp Fin / IBD roles)? I hear they ask technical questions and have a maths test as part of their interview process. If anyone can provide more detail on this that would be great.
Cheers, IBC
I know them as a recruiter/headhunter and talking to them is like everywhere else. Just having a chat about your CV, your goals and where you wanna go careerwise and how they possibly can help you as well as the opportunities being available at the moment. That's it.
Maybe I'm getting you wrong and you want to start working AT the Cornell Partnership, then I've to say I have no clue what to expect.
Yes I can provide some more detail:
The maths test is very basic, all mental maths, nothing much more complicated than + - * and /, create a few very basic equations to solve some of the questions.
Interview also pretty relaxed. They want you to talk through your CV, then outline methods of company valuation (assuming this is for corp. finance), ask what are the key disadvantages of dcf, tell me about a recent transaction etc. Then why CF? etc.
At the end of the interview they provide some feedback, give you things to improve on and suggestions etc. Even if you don't get the job the feedback is extremely candid and very useful, they will provide advice on CV, presentation etc.
Hope this helps
PS Same assumptions as DonMunich.
Thanks DonMunich and anon56. Yes the assumptions are correct (ie for Corp Fin / IBD roles). If anyone has anything else to add feel free to do so.
Disagree with anon56, thought the math test was very intense, 30 minutes 30 questions with a whole mix of questions with different degrees of difficulty (simple airthmetic, GMat-like Qs, text questions, long division). Might have been a firm-specific test so I don't know. Interview is fairly laid back, general technicals (why m&a, why company X, DCF, multiples, general economy, pick a company and do a SWOT analysis).
