Interview Questions
The most difficult portion of the interview was the technical questions related to oil and gas valuation. There were multiple valuation questions where the interviewer provided a portion of the normal information given to value a property or company, but made you come up with your own assumptions. They then pushed you on the assumptions to really test your understanding of the industry.

Other difficult questions included something along the lines would you rather be a large investor or a small investor in a specific basin and why?
