Follow-Up Deal Related Questions
1st Year Analyst looking to lateral - I have been finding when in an interview, the interviewers will often ask about prior deal experience that I was apart of. Whether it be an M&A deal or a capital raise. I have built the framework in which I can walk through the parameters of the deal, as well as the rationale for it, and the tasks I had on such deals.
- However as someone who hasn't done a crazy amount of the in-depth modelling, sometimes they ask follow-up questions pertaining to various multiples, ratios, methodologies, key drivers, etc. - I am having trouble being prepared for these follow up questions.
- Any advice on things I can run through, or guides I can look at before my next interview?
If I were still at your job, I would begin memorizing the numbers to those questions. To be clear, you don't actually have had to been the one to pull that data to be able to answer it. They may just be gauging industry knowledge, seeing if you are lying or not, or seeing how involved/eager you were on the deal.
Those are very basic questions that someone on the deal would be able to answer. More mechanical questions for modelling would not be, which is probably why they don't ask you those questions.
