I'm too lazy to go looking for them now, but there was a thread called "Credit suisse phone interview" or something similar not too long ago that had a bunch of good questions & answers.

No. ABSORB THE GUIDE INTO YOUR BEING! haha j/k. That is definitely a great starting point but I think more importantly might want to read Vault info on your company vault guide to Finance interviews.

More useful is the one for interviews. The banking one is fairly useless unless you have no idea what finance is.

yeah I'm a finance major also. Hit up the finance interview part, work on the questions, DCF and do the one about your firm/firms.

Bone up on your valuation
Bone up on your valuation skills and your accounting skills and know what is going on in the markets and you'll be fine.
There is a post in which
There is a post in which myself and another monkey gave a long detailed answer, but I'll try to summarize.
-strengths/weaknesses
-why IBD/why firm xyz
-why school xyz/why major xyz
-wacc and capm
-basic valuation techniques (see vault)
-how the 4 financial statements link
-how to calculate FCF
-brain teasers/mental math
-vault guide to IBD, vault guide to finance interviews, vault guide to firm xyz
-company news, stock price, recent earnings
-basic market info including DOW/S&P levels, oil and gold prices, and Treasury prices and yields
-your story --> know your resume from top to bottom
This is just a start. Talk to other people at your school who have interviewed for IBD positions. The most important thing to do is to connect with your interviewer(s). Look at both of them in the eyes even when you're responding to a question asked by one. Try not to be nervous. Firm handshake before and after the interviewer. Make sure you ask a couple pointed questions at the end of the interview - ones that you want to know the answer to! (If you bullshit with them, they will know) Act interested and sincere. Be sure to not mention anything that you are not comfortable talking about or being asked about. For example, don't say you're interested in hockey and then not be able to talk about a team you're following etc.. Don't say one wrong thing or you're done...not to put any pressure on you or anything.
good stuff. i know most of
good stuff. i know most of that, minus current market stuff. i never read/watch the financial news :(
The vault interview guide is
The vault interview guide is the most helpful. Just run through the part on valuation. You should know that cold (after a refresher) if you are a finance major.
This site is helpful as well, but has no answers.
