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 LinkedIn Review

“I wanted to share some feedback on my sessions with Andre. Andre has deep knowledge of investment banking, and he approaches every topic very strategically. His guidance while I was preparing my interview stories was especially valuable. One thing that stood out was that even a week after our previous session, Andre remembered me and everything I had shared about my background and goals. That meant a lot to me and made our sessions much more productive. He is also very direct. He tells me clearly what works and what doesn’t, which is exactly the kind of feedback I need. At the same time, he is funny and witty, so working with him is a lot of fun. Our sessions almost always run longer than scheduled, because Andre makes sure we cover everything properly before we wrap up. He is very dedicated and very patient, and I really appreciate the time and effort he puts in. I leave every session with Andre feeling clearer and more confident about my preparation. Thank you, Andre.”
