didn’t know they had super days for audit

Quant (ˈkwänt) n: An expert, someone who knows more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing.
 

Starwood asks mental math questions on bond stuff. How would you price a bond in perpetuity and they'll ask additional questions off of that in terms of perceiving risk and what an appropriate yield on that pmt in perpetuity is.

Ex. MD asks what yield you would put on a bond in perpetuity backed by him vs the analyst sitting next to him. Which one is riskier a.k.a. which on would demand a higher yield

They typically have 3-4 total interviews one of them will be that bond stuff, one of them will grill you on your resume to a point of just being dicks, last one or two will do some resume stuff and ask about the market, where do you think opportunities are, where would you invest $100m today, etc
