About the Role
HARDO delivers AI-powered mock interviews for investment banking recruiting, covering technical questions, behavioral inquiries, and case studies. These are graded against a real rubric, with intelligent follow-ups highlighting areas for improvement.

This role requires ownership of a continuously expanding portion of this material.

- Valuation
- M&A (Mergers & Acquisitions)
- LBO (Leveraged Buyout) mechanics
- Accounting
- Corporate Finance
- Case Studies
- Behavioral assessments
- And other relevant domains
-
Ensure the question bank remains current by updating it for shifts in:
- Deal precedents
- Market conditions
- Recruiting trends
-
Create knowledge-base articles that teach and break down core concepts:

- LBO mechanics
- Comps (Companies & Equity Comparables)
- Accretion/dilution analysis
- Recruiting strategies and tactics
- Real-world case study deconstructions (published on HARDO’s Knowledge Hub)
