I was just wondering, when I am reading up on deals to talk about during interviews, what kind of details, or what level of details should I focus on? Anyone care to comment please.
Thanks

thanks for the link! but I am actually not looking for new sources of merger, but asking about things I should focus on when I am reading up on mergers. Details that would be most relevant to mention in IB interviews.
I would start with:
1) Why you found the deal to be interesting (was it a landmark deal? or etc.) 2) Buyer and target 3) Offer price, premium, EBITDA multiple etc. + maybe the financing (how much equity and how much debt) 4) I think most importantly the qualitative merits of the deal (and whether you agree with it)
Thanks:)
Would I have to talk about the bank's role in the deal? say if the deal is conducted by the bank i m interviewing for? or just my analysis on deal would suffice
HOWEVER, I suggest you pick a deal that won't be that well known. You might be in the interview room with the analyst who worked on that specific deal...might get ugly. I say pick something thats a bit smaller and not a headline deal but still interests you.
Are you interviewing with any specific group?
Remember- you're a college kid. You're not expected to be an expert on what goes on inside the bank, but you should be able to ask intelligent questions. For instance, maybe you're reading about "synergies" and "efficiencies". Maybe an intelligent college student would ask who handles that analysis, how it gets done, and the like.
