Resume signals

  • 01

    Selectivity signals — school, GPA, prior internships at competitive shops

  • 02

    Deal experience — transactions, with size and your specific role

  • 03

    Technical fluency — accounting, valuation, modeling, derivatives

  • 04

    Quantitative aptitude — for trading / quant tracks, math + probability

    Composure — these interviews test stress as much as content

Typical loop

What the interview process looks like.

Recruiter → "superday" with 4–6 back-to-back interviews mixing technical (accounting, valuation, brain teasers, mental math) and behavioral. Buy-side adds a stock-pitch round; trading adds market-making puzzles; PE adds an LBO modeling test.

Practical tips

Resume + interview tactics that work.

Resume tips

  • 1.

    One page only. GPA + school stay on through 3–5 years post-grad.

  • 2.

    Lead with deal sheet on IB / PE / VC resumes — transactions, sizes, role.

  • 3.

    Quantify scope in dollars: AUM, revenue covered, deal size, P&L attributed.

Interview tips

  • 1.

    Memorize 3-statement walk-through and EV-vs-equity-value cleanly.

  • 2.

    For buy-side: have a stock pitch ready with bull case, bear case, and what could break it.

  • 3.

    Mental math: practice quick percentages and ratios under time pressure.
