Interview
First round behaviour interview in 10 minutes
Second round technical interview about valuation methods, general accounting knowledge, how to get FCFF and operating income, compare pros and cons of different valuation models .
Given a scenario and asked to answer comprehension questions related to it while suggesting technological solutions + diagram drawing.
