All,
Does anyone have any views on Softbank's Vision Fund? Culture, Pay, Investments, Interview Process? Went through the older threads but there wasn't anything more recent (threads were dated 2019).
Thanks!

Pro tip: Quick google will pull up their portfolio.
Think the focus wasn't on the investment and more Culture and Pay but thanks for that.
Got it. Didn’t realize the four categories you listed here in order of significance. Apologies for only hitting #3. Should have stayed silent.

Looks like performance has rebounded significantly as per their last presentation (IRR now way above 20% for both funds), interested again about any info on them (especially in EMEA).

Anyone in the recent recruitment process can shed some light on how it looks?
Hi. What questions did you get asked for the interview ? please help
What round are you in? and which office?
First round interview. What questions were you asked for the first round ? They said they have shortlisted handful of ppl for first round and now need to move to second quickly. One of my buddies here at GS is also interviewing . PLEASE HELP. If you didn’t interview with them. Let me know
Is it US office? EU office? or APAC?
Mine were general motivation and then a quick case study on one of their portcos. Just understand how their portcos operate. You can choose one yourself or they'll let you pick. Should just be a 30 min chat.
Can give more details if you let us know which office it is
This is for SF office. Can you please let me know what you mean by understand how their portcos operate ? Any examples on how to answer case study ?
Thanks.
Basically, what are the revenue drivers. How would you forecast revenues for these business?
In the models which you've built whilst you were at GS TMT, how did you build the revenue builds for e-commerce companies?
They'll also ask you questions about the PE buy sides you've done. They prefer that over strategics (as the PE a DD does is slightly different to a strategic). Make sure you know those deals in and out.
General motivation include why tech, why now etc.
Good luck.
Thank you. I am also hearing that there will be a modelling test. Do you know what kind of model we will be tested on ? And how can I prepare for that ? Please help
