If you don't know black sholes by heart, quant-fund brainteasers, and where the fintech space is going in 10-yrs, you're fucked!

 

Really depends on your interviewers. I was ready to go bananas on some fama french, but got simple DCF and accounting questions instead (1 each). Also if they think you are impressive, they seem to just assume you know certain questions. I only finished 60% of my DCF answer before the guy moved on, assuming I knew the rest. 

 

I did it. It was relatively chill - typical behavioral questions tbh, and some technicals which were not hard. You should be more than fine. You also have unlimited tries to record your answers lollll. You might as well knock it out. 

 

Got an interview request for SF. Had hireview 2-3 weeks ago I think.

 

No pretty sure comp is above street. Heard starting base is 90k?

For me, first round was 2, 30 minute video interviews. It was all pretty behavioral and basic technicals. 

Questions I got were: 

1. Tell me about yourself

2. Why Investment Banking?

3. Why FT Partners?

4. What was the most difficult class you've taken?

5. Tell me about your most recent internship experience, what was a project that you've done, what did you learn?

6. Tell me about this other work experience you have

7. What are some valuation methodologies?

8. Why is LBO considered the floor?

9. How do you get to unlevered free cash flow from revenue?

Good luck! 

 

Interviewed two weeks ago.. haven’t heard back yet..Are you interviewing for FT or SA?

 

Anyone hear back from SD's this week? I had mine on Monday. 

 

How long did it take back for first round interviews? I got a calender link invite last week on Thursday but no update, any chance all spots for filled for San Fran?

 

Recently had my first round. 2, 30-min calls. How long after first rounds do people hear back for SD?
