How to get into investment banking
Whilst I do not speak from experience, I hope the following
investment banking interview questions and tips which I have pulled
together from research across the internet will help graduates
considering a role in investment banking. I query whether now (mid 2008)
is the most ideal time to be jumping into investment banking but I’ll
get to that another day.
Expected Investment Banking Interview Questions
Ultimately, investment banking interviewers want to know two things regardless of the role you are applying for:
1. Why do you want to go into the investment banking?
2. Why do you want a job with the particular firm you are applying for?
From my analysis of a couple of insider surveys done by Wetfeet, the
key is to be prepared by having thought well about these questions
before the interview. Research into the firm and where the banking
division (trading / M & A /advisory / etc) is placed comparatively
to its competition (League tables) is a good place to get started when
thinking about these questions.
However, to stand out, originality and some degree of understanding
of the culture of the firm would probably be required to differentiate
you from the talented competition.
