Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why IB, why Nomura, walk me through a DCF, how is EV impacted if discount rate increases
Very behavioural with a few technical questions (how to calculate a DCF, etc.) Overall a very chill interview where you are pushed to ask questions about the firm. Definitely come with the technicals prepared.
First round then second round HR interview. First round was behavioral & technical mix and second round HR was behavioral. Was a smooth process. Heard back 2 weeks after my final interview.
