MarshBerry IB Final round Internship interview
Hello,
In two days I have a final round 1 hour zoom call with 2 associates at a specialty firm, MarshBerry. They deal with M&As of insurance brokerage and wealth management firms. I have been studying basic technical, industry, trends and culture. Behavioral of course as well. What else should I expect for this interview? I have only been studying basic technical but does anyone with experience know how this type of interview will usually go? This is my first real IB interview. Thank you!
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you should focus on for your final round interview with MarshBerry:
Behavioral Questions: Be prepared to discuss your story, why you’re interested in investment banking, and specifically why MarshBerry. Highlight your interest in M&A within the insurance brokerage and wealth management sectors. Use the SOAR method (Situation, Obstacle, Action, Result) to structure your answers effectively.
Industry Knowledge: Since MarshBerry specializes in M&A for insurance brokerage and wealth management firms, ensure you have a solid understanding of current trends in these industries. Be ready to discuss why these sectors are attractive for M&A activity and any recent deals or market shifts.
Technical Questions: While you’ve been studying basic technicals, it’s worth brushing up on M&A-specific concepts. For example:
