Interview Questions
nothing too out of the ordinary in terms of technical questions asked. It was primarily basic technicals that you would find on IB prep website... walk me through the financial statements, DCF, valuation methods, how you would calculate operating income, ebitda, why FCF is important. Besides that behaviorals were basic and you just had to provide examples with everything you said. Something unexpected were brainteasers that they asked. Wasn't entirely expecting them but probably would've been better if I had prepared them.
