What do you thing the common mistakes people do while entering in investment banking interviews?
1. Not knowing technicals inside and out (400Q guide, no excuses)
2. Coming across as unsociable/weird
3. Not knowing enough about why X firm and not Y firm (e.g. why BofA and not GS or something)
Agreed with all but 400q’s. Much better guides out there. It’s easy to weed out the people who are just regurgitating 400q answers.
For sure. I should have expanded more: you should know the principles behind the content in the 400Q guide. That way you can apply them to any other questions asked.
Which other guides do you recommend?
Just don’t come off as weird and antisocial and that’s about it
