Researching for interviews
Hi,
I did some searches on WSO but could not find the answer I was looking for.
I was wondering, how does someone go about researching an investment bank which they are going to be speaking with? What are people's methods for gathering information?
I have tried searching WSO for information but everyone seems concerned about the bank's compensation and hours for the most part.
So basically, is there a method that some of you employ when you land an interview or want to learn more about a bank? (league tables, WSO, news articles or something)?
For example, how would I go about learning more about Cowen so that I might be prepared to answer a question if a Cowen MD asks, "what do you know about us, or our groups?"
Thanks guys.
For smaller banks, their websites are usually good. Cowen, for instance, shows every group and recent transactions. Google the deal and read up on it.
For larger banks it's more about paying attention to deals and seeing who is advising/google/wso/etc,
also research the interviewers
I've found LinkedIn to be a great resource if you know who'll be interviewing you. The site often will show past work experience, university's attended, etc.
For example, on a past interview I did some research and discovered that my interviewer used to be in the marines. So in the interview I tried to be very direct and to the point, used "sir" a lot, etc.
