Has anyone here gone through the Evercore London interview process recently? I’m wondering how much they push on valuation details and whether they still give those long-form case questions people talk about?
Interview process at Evercore London
The process at Evercore London can be quite detailed, but it does not always rely on long, multi-step case questions. The focus is more on understanding how you think rather than on making you build a full valuation on the spot. Though, you should still be ready to walk through the logic of a DCF, explain how the three statements connect and discuss the main drivers in a typical M&A situation.
They may push you on specific valuation points if they sense you understand the basics. That can include questions like how changes in working capital affect cash flow or why a certain multiple makes sense for a given industry. These tend to be shorter, targeted questions rather than long, exam-style cases.
A personal tip is to practise explaining valuation ideas in a simple and structured way. If you can talk clearly about deal drivers and common valuation methods, you will be well prepared for how Evercore usually evaluates candidates.
