Yes, they will fly you and put you in a hotel on their dime. I personally would advise blatantly dropping the networking and cold calling aspect. Capital One interviews so many kids that you're just another final round candidate. Just go in, nail the cases, don't be a psychopath during the behavioral portion, and you will receive an offer.
I blow at math though. I have no idea how I even passed the math portion of the online assessment. Do you know how "on-the-spot math" heavy their cases are?
If you're really so driven, practice doing mental math and know how to calculate break even points (sorry if that sounds harsh). Capital One is all about break even points and profit calculations. They also give you a calculator (not a scientific one).
The key is to do the math and think out loud. Tell the interviewer what you're doing as you crunch numbers and write formulas. It feels silly, but you gotta force yourself to do it. I advise you find someone to practice cases. Also, check out glassdoor; in my experience, Cap One likes to recycle cases, so some of the interview reviews on glass door will contain cases that you might get.
Thanks for your input Rana. I really appreciate it.
Does anybody know where I can practice breakeven equations? Thank you
It's pretty heavy on math, but only the basic 4 functions. You just really gotta knock it out the park. Brush up on your algebra, for real for real. They pay for everything too. And they usually send 2 analysts the night before your interview to treat you to dinner and stuff. They got 2 of the interviewees wasted, and gave me a personal bottle of wine. Definitely a fun experience lol.
Yeah, I forgot about that. We all met up for dinner and drinks and they definitely don't save their money on recruiting.. Hell, they must spend at least $1,000+ per candidate they interview in the final round. The pay is pretty awesome, but best of all, the campus is SO SO SO amazing.
An amazing place to work at.
Do you guys have any advice for me? Mine is coming up in a few weeks. Do you have any idea how many people they are interviewing and how many they are looking to hire?
I read somewhere on here that they're hiring a LOT of kids. I think the number was 500, which to me sounds a bit too high, but what do I know.
Either way, that's good news for you because this year should be very competitive for other finance/consulting jobs. Just practice, practice, practice. At this point, with a few weeks ahead of you, this offer is yours to lose. You have no excuse to not get this.
Practice, kill the interviews, and get the job. You can do it.
