Interview for Tech Focused SM HF (L/S and Private Markets)
Hi everyone,
I have an interview coming up with a single manager fund that does both public and private investing under one team and is hiring a new grad. I did not do banking last summer, my experience is more tech centric. I follow tech newsletters/substacks and can talk about the industry qualitatively quite well. However, I am trying to prepare for the more technical portion of the interview and wanted some help.
Can someone please help me understand what would most likely be asked in these interviews? I assume I will have to say have 3 sectors I am bullish on, 3 sectors I am bearish on. Some names in each. That should hopefully cover the private side.
On the public side, I would want 1 long pitch and 1 short pitch. However, I am less clear about what this actually entails from a technical perspective. Should I build out a DCF and be ready to explain it? Understand the multiples of its competitors? I am really at a loss for this part?
Also, on the private side, would it be worthwhile to learn about dilution for each successive fundraising round.
I am well versed on many of these things high level and qualitatively but have very little experience actually digging into the fundamental model building and analysis which is where I am concerned.
I would really appreciate any help! Hopefully this can also be useful for people in the future recruiting for HFs as it seems to have become more common out of undergrad.
Don't worry, people in tech don't look at valuation. So you are all good.
Ya he’s right, tech stonks go up only
What's a DCF? Can barely use price to revenue ratio for Nikola.
