Recruitment questions for BB SA 2026

Heading into my first year of uni undergrad and wanted to know what to expect during the SA interview at a BB. How’s the structure of the application process, how deep are they going to test my technical skills, and what are some common reoccurring questions that I can expect?

Already nose deep studying the valuation methods and all, but want to make sure I cover “all” the necessary info.

Thanks

Just know all ibvine.io questions. Read through guides, know basic concepts. Make sure to have ur story, why banking. Have like 5 stories that apply to all behaviorals

 

Goal is between GS, JPM, or MS, but do I gotta specifically already know which one that I want to break into? Sooner the better ofc, but hard to make that choice already now. Any tips for deciding between the three? Current plan is to go for the one where I already have most of my connections set up. 

Thanks. 

 

You should be casting a wide net, probability is such that you will not get any of those 3 offers.
