Speaking with high level bankers - Questions to ask? How to impress?

Hello all,

I'll soon be speaking with a couple high profile bankers who are alums of my university/college, at places in which I'm applying for a 2020 summer internship. I'm wondering what questions I should ask and how I should look to impress them to the point in which I can bringup the internship program.

Thanks

Nothing impresses senior bankers like knowing the multiples, facts and figures of one of their recent deals. Like better than they do. When you start asking them the purchase multiple and premium and then can correct them and offer a little industry commentary on the market reaction, it really gets them hard.
