I applied online. I interviewed at Houlihan Lokey in Jan 2020
Interview
The interview process holds 3 separate interviews with 3 different people. It will be majorly Fit and technical questions in every interview. Lastly, you will have to do a case study where you have to build a model
The interview was primarily behavioral, with standard questions. The interviewer was nice but firm. The atmosphere was professional and structured, with a balanced tone throughout the conversation, making it a fair experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They just asked how a waterfall in debt looks like. Could not answer that so did not move on to next round.
It is definitely networking based to take on the interview. Make sure to know the 400 question guide well, mainly accounting and valuation. You won't be able to get an RX gig without knowing it.
The process took 2 weeks. There’s one round onsite written exam. Many corporate finance and accounting questions. Tech heavy. Modelling experiences would be an advantage. Behaviour questions mainly focus on past experiences.
