What Evercore looks for

Technical excellence — Most technically demanding interviews in London. DCF, LBO, merger models tested in depth.

M&A passion — Pure advisory. They want people who eat, sleep, and breathe deals.

Work ethic — 80-90 hours/week. The most demanding hours in London banking.

Analytical precision — Boutique advisory demands error-free work. Show attention to detail.

Resilience — The intensity is real. They need people who thrive under sustained pressure.

Commercial judgement — Advising boards on multi-billion decisions requires strategic thinking.

Grade requirements

No official minimum, but competitive candidates typically have a 2:1 or First from a Russell Group university.

Tips

How to apply to Evercore

1

Evercore is the highest-paying boutique. Show you understand advisory and want the intensity.

2

Evercore pays more than any other firm in London. Know this — and show you want it for the work, not just the money.

3

Technical preparation is non-negotiable. Know DCF, LBO, and merger models inside out.

4

Evercore is the #1 independent advisory firm. Reference their league table position.

5

Be ready for the intensity question. "How do you handle 80+ hour weeks?" needs a genuine answer.

6

Know specific Evercore deals — check their press releases.

7

Apply within the first 2 weeks of applications opening. Evercore uses rolling admissions — later applicants face fewer spots.

CV standards

Evercore CV requirements

One page maximum — Evercore recruiters spend 15-30 seconds on initial CV screening.

Education first, then experience. Include degree classification (or predicted), A-level results, and relevant modules.

Quantify achievements — "increased society membership by 40%" is stronger than "grew the society".

Include relevant skills: financial modelling, Excel, Bloomberg, Python, or languages if applicable.

Tailor to Evercore and the specific division you're applying to. A Markets CV should differ from an IBD CV.

Use reverse chronological order within each section. No photos, no colours.
