Interview Preparation Tips

Round: HR Interview
Experience: I knew the company history well and had good answers for why ChrysCapital?
I had done a lot of research on the company (knew background of all employees, fund raising history etc)

What went wrong/right:
Wrong: I was extremely nervous in the beginning
Right: 1) I knew the company history well and had good answers for why ChrysCapital?
2) Allowed the second interview to go towards Macro eco instead of hard numbers. Could discuss in depth about oil for half an hour.
3) Was able to work with numbers (Finac fundamentals) in my head (under stress) quickly. Was able to look at its business implications.
Tips
Tips: Prepare well on company history.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Second round was to focus on discussion about a particular company in depth to see the finance skills but went to a higher level with a half an hour discussion focussing on macro economy and oil prices and the business of investing.

Allowed the second interview to go towards Macro eco instead of hard numbers. Could discuss in depth about oil for half an hour.

I think they were looking for:
1) Interest in finance in general, the PE industry and the company in particular
2) Personal and professional fit with the company (since there are small teams, this is very important in PE)
3) Ease with numbers and business /economic sense
Tips: Read newspapers regularly/had strong views about macro eco
Be very strong with 2-3 sectors and have a basic idea about 6-8 sectors.

Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: The third round was a panel interview taken by both MDs together wherein I had to calculate the ROCE for a tech company. It went in a case like manner but I had to remember all the numbers in the mind.

Was able to work with numbers (Finac fundamentals) in my head (under stress) quickly. Was able to look at its business implications.
Tips: Practise atleast a few case interviews even if not interested in Consults. It helps in structuring the interview better.

Skills: Mental Math, Macroeconomics
College Name: IIM Bangalore
