Thanks a lot Art, especially the McKinsey valuation text suggestion. I want to start playing with valuation models after the June exam and financial instutions is an industry of interest.
Interview is tomorrow. Any last words? I’m reviewing recent acquisitions in the annual report this evening.
Good luck QuantJock. I hope you land this one.
Thanks Toph. The interview out in your hood is still pending. I’m hoping that one works out. Otherwise this would be a fine job to land.
you will be fine - interviewers make their decision about in in the first 30 seconds, and the best way to influence their “feel” of you is to really, genuinely want the position, like what the company does, and be dedicated to your line of work. if you feel that way, it will show and the interviewer(s) will see this and like you. if this is all good, then you have nothing to worry about. good luck homie

I have this answer down cold. The bank is very conservative and maintains a lower debt to equity ratio than its peers. It was quite conservative during 07 when the market was rallying. When all other banks in the area were running lean on cash in the rough years of 08/09, this bank became greedy and scooped up a few deeply discounted acquisitions. The CEO worked his way up from a teller position in undergrad, so he is intimately familiar with each rung on the ladder. Overall I like their strategy of fear and greed. One could see them trailing the big banks during 07, but they shot ahead of the pack in 08/09 when everyone else was holding cash in fear. Likewise, they were the only bank in my area that passed the US Gov ‘Stress Test’ last year. The carefully calculated acquisitions they make really shows to their conservative and prudent nature.
so what did this gig pay quant?
No clue. I got passed over.
This process will be of great advantage to the interns. If they work hard in this field, they can make a bright future of themselves. Stipend will also increase their motivation. http://investmentbank.com/process/
