Question 1
Run me through your CV (the following questions follow from that)
Many technical questions based on an M&A case that they give you to read before you go into the interview (you have 45 mins to read it). It is a big box file.
It went well, three rounds, some qualitative, some quantitative. It was generally easy but the analysts were a little tougher than the senior guys. overall, the interviews were okay. It was conducted through video rather than in-person or on the phone.
