Interview Questions
What financial statement if you could only choose 1 would (Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Cash Flow Statement) would you choose to make a loan decision? This was one of the only technical questions asked, the majority were behavioral and getting to know me questions. Example walking through resume, internship experience, extra curricular activities. Additionally had to read a deal memo and ask questions. This was more like a case study. It was somewhat difficult because I had no credit experience at the time, but anyone with basic financial skills and understanding of ratios should be fine.
