Business banker interview questions

The Investment Banking Interview Guide 3.0 takes interview preparation way beyond merely “regurgitating canned responses” to “understanding the concepts”.

We also give you multiple ways to test yourself, to ensure that you identify and fix any weaknesses before you step into the interview room.

Other Interview Guides, by contrast, can be summed up like this:

1. Here’s a bunch of qualitative questions you might get asked… and some sample answers and explanations.
2. Oh yeah, and then here are the technical questions – with a few explanations and sample answers provided.
3. The end! Good luck with your interview!

There's One BIG Problem with This Approach:

Interviewers at Investment Banks are NOT stupid.

Memorizing questions and answers will only take you so far… because interviewers can always put a new spin on traditional questions, and throw you for a loop in the process.

(And with more and more candidates preparing using Interview Guides and Modeling Programs, interviewers are doing this more and more.)

That’s why we created “Version 3.0” of the Interview Guide - to address the increasing trend of finance firms asking questions designed to make you think - and to catch you off-guard:

• You Need to Understand the Concepts – Not Just the Answers: Banks and other finance firms are now looking for evidence of conceptual understanding rather than your ability to memorize and repeat ‘stock’ questions and answers. That’s why we give you extensive explanations for all the concepts, before we even dive into the questions and answers.

• You Need to Practice and Test Your Understanding: Otherwise, how could you really know whether or not you understand the concepts? That’s why we give you 326+ interactive questions and answers that you can use to test your knowledge. It’s like practicing in a real interview setting, but with no suit required!

• You Need to Customize Your “Story” for Different Roles: Different roles and backgrounds require different preparation. If you’re applying to banks, you’ll say one thing… but it’s different for private equity, and for hedge funds and asset management firms. You need different ways to “tell your story,” pitch yourself, and convince interviewers that you’re the best possible candidate for the role. And you’ll learn how to do exactly that with our 15 resume / CV walkthrough templates and video tutorials.
