Applied online. Heard back like 2 months later for a hirevue, then a pretty easy case study, and then an in person superday which wasn’t the easiest. The hirevue and case study were very easy. Superday was challenging with technicals
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Walk me through a DCF, what are discount rates in the dcf? What’s wacc? How would you show 10 bucks if deprecation on 3 financial statements
3 rounds, 1 Excel test, 1 interview with director, 3rd with associate. Not technical at all, mostly fit. Still you need to know y how private equity works but no MoM or LBO paper asked. Not accepted but I believe it is because I needed sponsorship that they don’t provide.

Question 1
Why do you wanna join Hamilton lane, why private equity and precisely why secondary ? Recent deals, explain LBO etc…
There was one Hirevue, five interviews, and one written test in the interview process. Interviewers will be full-time employees of HL, from associates to principals. Rather than modeling, the written test focuses on Excel, which is relatively easy.
