Heading to an interview with EY TD. Any tips for the technical interviews? Are there terms that I should be familiar with?
(I searched on Quality of Earnings, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, NWC, Net Debt but not sure if it's enough... not many resources in google)

If the interviewers asks, “Are you down with OPP?”, say “Yeah you know me”. You hit the basics. Try to mention any data analysis you performed in the past as well. A big thing about Deals is spotting irregularities at a high level.

EY1, Big Deals, Huge.

Sure thing, best of luck. Just remember that more than the technical aspect, these interviews tend to be behavioral. For me, I’m looking for candidates that appear smart, ambitious and personable (someone I don’t mind working long hours with). Don’t say the primary reason you are interested is because you are bored or hate audit. Also don’t come off as a flight risk, I want to do IB and I heard this job increases my chances. Also, if you have any experience with Data Analytics tools like Alteryx or PowerBI or Spotfire, definitely mention it in the interview….

I see. I would not ever talk about exit to IB in the interview. (That seems bizarre). I heard the group wants more ppl with FDD experience so I was also wondering what I can show myself as a great asset even though I do not have FDD experience.
