Off-Cycle Investment Banking Intern Interview - Mergers and Acquisitions
Overall the fit and technical answers went well however the market questions (for me) went terribly. Got on well with them. I would highly advise being up to date with the latest mergers, know EVERYTHING about the company before the interview and be ready to get your knowledge and CV absolutely grilled.
I had the interview today so am waiting to hear back - mixed feelings - however I hope that I may have squeezed through on the fit questions despite the fiasco on the M&A/Market/Equity questions.
Tip: DO NOT PUT ANYTHING ON YOUR CV THAT YOU ARE NOT 100% ABLE TO BACK UP - THEY WILL TRY TO EXPLOIT YOU AS THE INTERVIEW WAS 2 ROUNDS OF 2 ON 1 AND HIGH PRESSURE GRILLING.
Good luck and don't forget to do your research on the M&A Industry and the company indepthly beforehand.
