In an interview for an investment banking analyst, what is the best way to answer this type of question? i.e. Who is Bob Bobson?
If I appointed you today, what value would you add (immediately)?
Besides money, what would you gain from working in investment banking?
What should I include, and what should I not say?
Thanks for help.
