I just recently got an Atlas SP second round interview for SA 2025 and was just wondering if anyone who did SA 2024 or other similar roles had anything to share about the process. What are the behaviorals like? Are there any techs? Thanks in advance.

Ah, gearing up for the Atlas SP second round, are we? Let's swing through some insights based on the most helpful WSO content. Here's what you might expect:
Behavioral Questions: - Walk Me Through Your Resume: Be ready to give a concise story about yourself, covering both academic and personal aspects. - Why Finance/Tech: Have a clear and compelling reason for why you're interested in finance and the tech industry. - Teamwork Stories: Be prepared with examples of working in teams and handling difficult team members. - Prioritization: Be able to discuss how you prioritize tasks and manage your time effectively.
Technical Questions: - Tech Industry Knowledge: You should be able to discuss key trends in the tech space and talk about specific niches you're interested in. - Valuation Techniques: Understand different valuation methods, especially those relevant to tech companies like SaaS metrics. - Financial Statements: Be comfortable with the three financial statements and how they interrelate. - Investment Scenarios: You might be asked to pitch a stock or discuss how you would invest a certain amount of money.
Remember, for SA roles, the technicals might not be as intense as for FT positions, but you should still be well-prepared. The key is to be chill yet polished for behaviorals and have your technicals down pat. Good luck, and don't forget to bring that A-game!
