I applied online. I interviewed at K1 Investment Management (Manhattan Beach, CA) in Sep 2025
Interview
Basic phone screen with associate, and then interview. I only did the phone screen, which was 15 minutes. The phone screen was over MS Teams and they don't ask too many technical questions, more of getting to know the interviewer and basic financial questions. Make sure to know previous deals of theirs
