Hi there, I have an interview at NERA for their internship in the securities and finance team this week. I really would like this to go well, would anyone have any advice on how to best prepare for it and what type of questions could be asked. Also what are good questions that I can ask? Would appreciate any advice! Thanks!

Worked in econ consulting before business school for a competing firm.

Make sure you understand the business model and that you can communicate effectively as to why you want to join such a niche business. At the end of the day, the job is to communicate your findings to lawyers in plain English. In one of my interviews, I was asked to explain what a p-value as if I was speaking to a 5th grader.

Candidates that separate themselves are typically very articulate and distill complicated concepts down, so don’t overlook the “fit” portion of the interview for the more technical/practice area specific stuff.

I’ve been interviewing for new positions to leave PA.

I don’t think my boss has any idea I’m looking to leave - anything I should do to not feel guilty about potentially leaving them short staffed with a ton of work? Is this something you think about when looking to leave?
