Anyone have insight into Nomura Greenth lateral interview?

Would assume I need to know some trends around the renewables space. Do they ask any industry-specific technicals? Modeling test? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Based on the most helpful WSO content, the interview process at Greentech Capital Advisors, which is now part of Nomura, is quite rigorous. Here's a brief overview:

  1. Initial Coffee Chat: This is an informal discussion to get to know you better.

  2. Application: You'll be asked to write an essay on why you're interested in greentech, what specific vertical excites you, and who you've spoken with at the company.

  3. Technical Phone Screens: Expect two back-to-back technical phone screens where you'll be asked about LBO, Merger Model, and Accounting.

  4. Superday: This is a day of interviews with the team, including two technical heavy interviews (cases, merger models, LBO analysis) and behavioral interviews with a couple of partners, senior associates, and VPs.

In terms of preparation, it's crucial to do your research on a vertical you like that they work in and be able to attest to companies in the space (both private and public) as well as recent M&A, and trends/news in that vertical. They have made a special effort to brand themselves as greentech and they want bankers who are passionate within the space. So, sell yourself on one specific place they work.

As for industry-specific technicals or a modeling test, the WSO threads don't provide specific details on this. However, given the technical nature of the phone screens and Superday interviews, it would be wise to prepare for such possibilities.

Remember, they're looking for extremely smart people who are passionate about the greentech space. Good luck!
