RBC Capital Markets M&A Group

I might get an interview from RBC Capital Market M&A Group (for entry level analyst position). Does anyone know about this group and the firm? What type of interview questions, their deal flows, culture, etc.

They have been hiring very actively on senior level to win more mandates and secure a solid top10 on league table. Also, they have strong balance sheet. But do they use this advantage to win more mandates? Because they do M&A Advisory as far as I know.

I would appreciate many insights on the position, group, and the firm, and as well as interview tips/advice.

Thanks

i'm also curious about this. I know that RBC did very well last year, in terms of league table in Canada and also doing well in the US.

Which location is your interview for and when is it?

 

M&A, duh

Hi, Can you please tell me what the interview at RBC looks like? (personal questions vs formulas, etc.) How are they in terms of compensation?

 

I interviewed with them, but it was not group specific. Typical DCF, valuation, accounting questions and general fit. First round with a junior banker will be more technical IMO.

Once I made it clear I knew technicals the conversation became much more general/fit oriented.

 

What role is this for? Summer Analyst of Summer Associate? That might determine the type of questions you get. Just make sure you have a pretty well-defined reason for wanting to be at RBC. Think well and hard about their competitive advantages and align your career aspirations to align with those as much as possible without sounding fake. Good luck!

 

Great advice guys, I had an RBC interview recently and it basically covered what was mentioned here. A few technicals, a few behavioral, then a big focus on why RBC.

 

Mine turned out to have no technicals. It was essentially a really long "tell me about yourself" with them asking questions about my experiences throughout.
