Screwed up my MF interview. What are my chances?
I'm a BB associate (soon to be VP) and I interviewed for a MF associate position in Asia. I was top bucket for 5 years straight. Had high hopes coz it was an opportunity introduced by a good headhunter and he was confident about my chances too given I turned down another MF infra gig last year tho I got the offer (just wasn't into infra)
I interviewed with the VP that would rank right above me if I were to join. 40 minutes of the interview was mostly fit + deal experience + industry specific knowledge knowledge on multiples/risks/points for DD. I felt good about this part coz I studied up on a lot and prepared for even an investment thesis and pitch for a specific company.
Last 10 minutes were on technicals but I completely blew it. I was asked on the formula for Levered/Unlevered FCF and how D&A change will impact 3FS I forgot how to answered these since I last prepared for an entry level job which was 6 years ago I was prepared for more complex and difficult questions and went completely blank and at some point even apologized for a brain fart
This was my last try at an MF before settling in IB entirely.
Do you think I will still have a chance for a model test and next round?
Not a great look but all depends how others do and if the interviewer liked you enough to get a pass
Cooked
Yeah probably cooked but I don't get why this would be your "last try" (or why the options are MF or bust lol) if you want to jump to the buyside so bad and have sterling credentials. Networking and recruiting sucks but if one interview is going to cause you this much pain, then give those pain eggs more cold-email baskets
same thing happened to me as well today on the D&A question, somehow blanked out ... how did it go for you in the end?
you are fucked mate
That was me that interviewed you. Yeah you're cooked lil bro. Nice meeting you though - solid hand shake.
Lol was this the special sits seat in Hong Kong?
was having a bad day man thanks for reminding me it could be way worse
May be more cash comp lucrative to get the VP banking promote regardless tbh
