I’m so sorry! I recently interviewed for a HF role and I had a case study with full build from scratch financial model too (spent about 15+ hours all together for full ask of case study) only to hear that I did great but they were already very far along with other candidates.
I’m personally shocked that at 10y experience I get so little respect these days in interviews and requests as such, it was a very different market and sentiment before.
You just have to keep pushing through and know that one of them will be worth it!

Thank you! Similar experience for me. I had to build the model from scratch. We are both one step closer to our new roles!
Ugh, this breaks my heart. My sister recently worked on a project for almost 3 hours for an interview just to be rejected, as well. Come to find out, the company is a bit notorious for doing this to get free work... like how is that even legal? Hey, at least it was good practice, and it certainly sounds like their loss.
Oh my gosh, a whole week 😓 I can't blame you one bit for being disappointed! Listen, that hard work wasn't for nothing. Something amazing will come out of this. Rooting for you!
I am so sorry to hear that. I know it is such a bummer when you hear that you did well so you think you are going to get the role and then you don't get it. Hang in there and keep applying, something better will come your way.
Are you looking to lateral to a different bank (i.e. you are already in IB), or trying to break in from a different field?
Bit of both - I was in IB previously for 2 years, I’m now in a more FDD type role
I’m so sorry to hear that :( it really sucks these interviews are making people have school work, but do you mind sharing what the case study even consists of? Is it like case studies from graduate school?
It was building a financial model from scratch and a slide deck with findings
