Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific information about Sandbrook Capital's recruitment process or model test in the provided knowledge base. However, for a 4-hour modeling test, it's generally advisable to prepare for a comprehensive exercise, such as building a financial model from scratch (e.g., LBO, DCF, or other relevant models depending on the firm's focus).

Key tips: 1. Practice under time constraints: Ensure you can build models efficiently without relying on templates. 2. Understand qualitative aspects: Be ready to explain your assumptions and provide insights, such as sensitivity analyses or key takeaways. 3. Prepare for additional tasks: Some firms include qualitative tasks like creating slides or answering strategic questions.

If you need more tailored advice, consider exploring WSO's Private Equity Interview Prep resources or their modeling bootcamps for detailed guidance.

Bumping. Did you end up going through their process or does anyone else have insight into the group and process?

Got a friend who is midlevel there (Sr Assoc/VP) and gets absolutely smoked on hours. 80+ all the time, no exceptions. To be fair, deal flow and comp are good, but the expectations for availability round the clock even when nothing is live are apparently kinda absurd.

Doesn't help that the office is in Stamford (in-person 3 days a week). Apparently one of the partners has a house in CT and wants to work near home, so everyone else has to commute out there. Juniors are pushing for a NYC office but no luck yet.

 

Sounds brutal, but could be a good stint for a 2 yr period or so. Seems to be a decent firm.

 

any insight if this includes travel given they’re based in Stamford? Trying to understand the dynamic there
