My bank has started to do technical customer analysis as part of technicals.

What does that even mean?

Yes my bank gives a case study that’s is basically write a 5-10 page deck hitting key points that would be in a CIM (i.e. business overview, competitive landscape, financial section) followed by an LBO and DCF. The timeline would be 24 hours

Sounds like fun

Nope. Never an actual CIM sample test. Have interviewed across 5-6 MM and Bulge banks. Instead expect questions on 'equity story positioning / key investment highlights' and basic structure of a CIM.

20 min LBO is typical to test.

I am a young professional... But every job interview I’ve had so far pretty much just wants to know what kind of person I am. They are as interested in my leadership/communication as much as they are in me talking about my experience.

Is this how it will always be? Or is this predominantly because I am in lower positions at this point in my career?
