Not hard, pretty straight forward - asked mostly behavioral questions and then a few technicals. Just know the basics and u should be fine ya. us 30 words is crazy ngl
I applied online. I interviewed at Solomon Partners (New York, NY) in Mar 2026
Interview
Not a horrible set of interviews. They started off with an HR screener which was very casual - you just have to answer why Solomon, Why Banking, TMAY, and similar. The second round was as far as I got and was much more challenging. They asked me "Walk me through a Sell-Side Process" and "Can you move me from EBITDA to FCF". I got the EBITDA to FCF question right, but got cut mostly likely on the sell side question. Lots of behaviorals too, but off-the-cuff, unique ones like "What did you want to do as a kid", lots of grilling my resume and items on it, and did check out the interests section of my resume as well.
