Interview(s) advice for DCM and Investment

Hey guys , a very young monkey here , I am about to have 2 interviews , one for local uni investment club and another for DCM internship at a firm in Netherlands. Can you give me advice on these 2? I already studied some unrelated stuff for risk before like VaR , T1C , ratios , types of risk and stuff , but as i said its not too much conected to upcoming ones. I did some FSA at uni , financial and cost accounting, and statistics. I am aware what DCM is , and that i should have deep understanding of bonds , macroeconomic events impacting it and in the end know how firms raise the money. Regarding the second one , as its more high-finance related (trading , PE , VC , IB) , i know i should know DCF model , WACC , FSA , NPV , IRR etc , but i am not exactly sure what are the questions like. Also i would like to get some know-how regarding answering behavioral and personal-fit questions. Big thanks in advance :)

Investment Banking Mock Coffee Chat

“Rachel was very pleasant to speak with. Super informative and gave me a lot of recruiting tips. She discussed her different pathways that she has taken as well as her recommendations on how to approach those pathways as a student. She also shared a lot of personal improvement tips such as being adaptable to be successful long term. Her international perspective was unique to hear from. The variety of experiences she has had as both an analyst and leading a team all across the world was great to learn from.”
