An analyst takes care of the whole recruiting process.
Overall I had 2 phones interviews and 1 assessment, the rest were just calls to negotiate the job conditions. During the process I was re-scheduled 3 times and one of them was cancelled at the last minute!!
Initial phone call
- Why Investment Banking
- Previous Experience
- No tecnical questions
Second phone call with the owner
- More than questions is a pitch he makes about the company and the long hours in banking.
Excel & Powerpoint Live Assessment
- Calculate the CAGR
- Calculate the dilution effects after a capital injection
- Calculate gross and ebitda margin
- Who would be interested in buying a software company
- Recreate a PowerPoint slide
Even though they were honest with most of the things such as working hours in Investment Banking, they told me that they had a team of 7 people and when I arrived they were only the two people who interviewed me and an intern who was going only 3 days a week.
