I've recently been approached by a recruiter about a Deal Origination opportunity within A&M's Corporate Finance team and would appreciate some advice from anyone familiar with similar roles/processes.
My background is non-traditional for finance, I studied a non-finance subject, started my career in B2B/commercial roles and have since moved into M&A origination.
I'm particularly interested in understanding how candidates with a less conventional background are assessed and how best to position my experience during the interview.
The process is expected to involve 3 stages, including conversations with senior members of the team.
For anyone familiar with A&M or similar Corporate Finance/Deal Origination roles:
- What do they tend to look for in interviews?
- How technical should I expect the process to be?
- What would you focus on preparing?
- Any advice for positioning a non-traditional background?
Would really appreciate any insight!
