Investment Banking Analyst Interview - Investment Banking
The first interview was with an associate and a Vice President.
The second interview was with a Director and a Vice President.
Overall, both interviews tested me on the previous work I had done and the transactions I had worked. The VP who interviewed me in the first quizzed me on technicals of making a model, which I answered correctly. I was expecting a lot more barrage of technical questions to be honest, so was surprised that I was limited to just that. Their questions focussed more on my commercial awareness of sectors, what valuation metrics I would use for specific sectors (viz. Oil & Gas, Steel, Dairy etc.)
Whilst both interviews went well and the feedback was positive, they declined to hire anyone for the position owing to closing hiring for the position, as I later found out.

Your weaknesses?
Risk Management Intern Interview - Back Office
Response: My strength is that I am an excellent team player and I know how to put the team's needs above mine at all times. I am also respectful of my peers and superiors and will try my best to communicate with them effectively and efficiently during work.
Response: I have always been a confident person in life. However, sometimes I am overconfident of my capabilities and tend to overlook the smaller details in the assignments/tasks given to me. However, I have been cautious and have since tried to improve myself to become more diligent in any task that is given to me.
