Hey all it’s been 5+ years since I’ve interviewed. So I am out of the loop. Is this a reasonable interview request for an industry BD role (AD level if that matters)?
Submit 5-10 slides + excel to:
Describe the strategic reasons for the acquisition of A by B. Value A by using DCF, multiples and trading premiums. Assess synergies in the business case. Prepare pro forma model of combined companies. Submit in preparation to present during interview. Thanks for any perspective.

Do you like solving these business challenges? If so, could be a fun project.

I do, but it’s kind of an involved process actually thinking through it. Much less fun when doing it just to prove you can do it.

Hi all -
Sorry for the long rant, but could use advice or just encouragement.

Got laid off for the first time in my career 3 weeks ago. I have 10 years of PM experience (mostly ecommerce & experimentation). I was fortunate in the past to have had recruiters scout me directly so this is the first time in over a decade that I am applying to everything that I’m qualified for, mostly qualified for, and way over qualified for with zero leads. Only 3 interviews thus far that didn’t go forward.

Then it has been 4 weeks later and they say they are very sorry for the wait and they increased my pay up significantly to help compensate for the lost days. But idk what to do.. should I stay or look elsewhere
