Why IB/CIBC

- Why are unlevered DCFs preferred

Nothing too difficult, with CIBC specifically they will try to pick at any weak element of your answers with follow ups, so keep it concise.
Good luck!
can confirm i got very similar questions, I had a few questions on comps tables and some metrics, M&A question on accretion, some weird one on what i would use to value a ipo, walkthrough of DCF
Did you hear back for super?
no - i didnt perform well so i know I'm dinged
You will 100% get merger math questions, know basic acc / dil stuff
Interviewer asked if I support the carbon tax.
What a stupid question
Such a stupid fucking question. I can’t believe they asked u to give them a thoughtful response to that.

What did you say and how did they react, I am curious
Had an interview with one of the big 5 ER team where they asked my opinion on ESG lol
Any updates?
