J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 8 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Jefferies
Entretien
Applied through an employee referral. Interview process consisted of two phone screens and a Super Day. 1st round interview was very straightforward and interviewers were nice. Asked standard questions about the main valuation methodologies and walking through DCF. not too hard.
2nd round interviewers asked similar questions but with more of a markets focus. No accounting questions were asked. interviewers lacked energy.
