FT Interview Advice

Long-time lurker, first time-poster. I've done my best to use the search function, but I didn't have a lot of success. Apologies if there is a thread on this already.

Essentially, I just finished my junior year internship at a strong regional office, but I'm looking to transfer to a different/stronger regional office with a top BB or boutique. Have several interviews lined up. I'm a little bit worried about specific aspects of FT interviews (discussing transaction experience / technicality), etc. The reason why I'm worried is that I did not really do any modeling over the summer, and am a bit rusty on technicals (although reviewing guides currently). I would love if anyone could PM me to discuss the situation more thoroughly!

Question: Does anyone have any advice on what I can expect to be asked about transactions or how technical questions might be? How do I handle this if my transaction experience was not particularly strong this summer.

Thanks for all the help!

 

Whatever transactions you put on your resume you have to be familiar with. Try to ask your MDs about more info on transactions you were involved with. Don't list too many of them just a few.

 

Beny23, thanks for the advice! Unfortunately, I imagine the resume that I sent in originally will be used during the interviews, but I will do my best to get prepared to discuss these deals.

Any additional advice?
