The process was relatively chill. I did a first round and it was mainly behavioral with some technicals. They asked "Walk me through how to value companies and DCF" which is standard for IB
First round was very relaxed - the interviewer asked a couple behavioral questions and maybe 2 technical questions - felt very discussional - only went through maybe 4-5 questions for 30 minutes
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Houlihan Lokey (New York, NY) in Jan 2026
Interview
