I’m preparing for a potential entry-level interview for ER at Goldman. How many stock pitches do you think I should work on? Other than the stock pitch, what would you say are recurrent aspects of every ER interview? (e.g. DCF walk-through?)

thanks a lot. for market size brainteasers, any tips on how to answer?
What sector?
there is no specified sector yet but i’m planning to cover healthcare in the interview.
Hmmm interesting. Usually have a sector. Honestly a couple should be fine. Don’t worry about the short pitches.
1 buy-rated stock pitch. No shorts.
Recurrent:
- behavioral (why ER, why not buy-side, why our firm, why equity, etc.)
- accounting (how to calc EBITDA, free cash, diff between gross vs operating margin, etc.)
- valuation
Thank you! I appreciate it ::)) Yeah, I don't have a short ready atm which is my biggest worry. Are you relatively sure that they don't usually ask about it?
