What I do
Currently, I work as a 3rd year analyst in the Energy
Team. Being part of a sector team has allowed me to
gain a deeper understanding of industry trends and
the corporate landscape. To date, I have worked on
a variety of transactions, buy-side and sell-side as
well as capital markets transactions. My steep learn-
ing curve has also been fostered by Evercore’s rela-
tively small size. Working in lean deal teams enabled
me to step up rapidly and to take on a meaningful

role in decision making processes.
Skills
In my opinion, the most important skills to be a good
analyst are a willingness to learn and to have a can-
do attitude. Beyond these attributes it is essential to
have an analytical mind-set and to be able to cope
with a fast-paced environment.

“ Describe a typical day as a graduate analyst at Evercore…
My typical day is spent creating marketing presentations
for existing and potential clients, working on financial and
operating models, gathering data from equity research, and
tracking specific company developments. I was working on
a live mandate in my first month and felt I had made a real
impact in the early days as a result.
The recruitment process…
During my assessment centre I was impressed by the
positive attitude senior people have towards the candidates,
I noticed their genuine interest in my personality and career
aspirations, as well as their commitment to emphasise the
firm’s culture. A culture based on excellence, client focus

and independence is embedded in the daily activities.
Culture…
I’ve taken part in several social events organised by the
firm; this allowed me to get involved and strengthen
relationships with my colleagues. For instance, we attended
a lunch with the CEO of Evercore Europe who provided an
update on future developments and enabled us to discuss
with him our professional goals and long term plans.

As a junior, you are fully integrated into your team from
day one. Over the past few months I have enjoyed a high
level of exposure to both senior managers and clients,
enhanced by the small team structure we have. It has been
a great experience, that comes with high expectations and
accountability for the work done but with all the support we
need to succeed.
Training…
Training starts with 6 weeks training in London and New
York. It provides analysts with solid basic technical skills it
is also a time to get to know your peers. Take that chance

Advice to candidates
People underestimate the importance of their
motivations. You need to be able to demonstrate
how you came to apply. Talking about how your
learnings from past experiences have informed your
ambitions will convey that you have had interesting
experiences, have thought critically about them, and
that you have a meaningful understanding of the role
you are applying for.
