Yes. Lots of focus on governance issues that pop up during M&A deals. Some exploration of JV scenarios.

Final partner interview scenario was as follows:
“Say I get a call from the CEO of company X right now about a deal they are about to go in on and they put me on hold for 20 mins, what are the top 3 things I want to tell them to examine when they get back in the line?”

I didn’t get the job, btw. I choked on that because I forgot about functional complexity (the most obvious consideration factor).

Hi all,
I had a video screening interview earlier last week, got an email back couple days later and this is what the email says ( referred to screenshot below).
I replied with a date and time which is today at 1:30pm- I still didn’t get a response. Needless to say I emailed them this morning to remind them.
What to make if this ?

Have new analyst on the team with an MBA and project experience. After working with them for 2 months it’s apparent that there are 0 consulting skills (excel, outlook, PowerPoint) and they freeze up even on internal calls. They are young and coachable, and I offered to put time into that. However at a company event they made no effort to get to know the team and chose to stick to their familiar colleagues in their home office. I’d like to ask for a new resource but interested in feedback.
