I was just wondering what kinds of questions should I expect on the deals i've worked on?
I am a junior recruiting for SA positions and interned at an IB boutique this last summer.
Deals listed on my resume: Sale of a ski resort Fairness opinion on the purchase of a pharmaceutical distribution company Cap raise for a Medical Devices company
Obviously I know the mechanics of the deals (Multiples, DCF assumptions, WACC)
What should I know past that?

Just the story behind the deal, terms, positioning, rationale and your involvement. I've had to talk about deals on my resume plenty of times, but only once was I really grilled on the minute details like forward EBITDA, margins, peers and relative trading multiple range of the peers. All of that stuff is good to know, but don't kill yourself memorizing the minutiae.
