URGENT HELP! INTERVIEW INCOMING!!
Hi all, so as the title says I have an interview for a generalist M&A and debt advisory internship role incoming in very little time. The place is a bank in Milan.
This would be my first interview ever and I'm not sure what to focus on. I've already gone through the BWIS guide and hold a bachelor in finance. Find myself comfortable with accouting concepts.
Would appreciate any insight. Thx

First of all relax. If you enter the interview with the same all caps urgent mentality you will not perform well. Know that you will probably mess up your first interview, that's just how life is. You get better and more confident with reps.
If you're confident on the technicals that's fantastic. I'd focus on coming up with an articulate and tidy response to why IB and why XYZ bank. Record yourself and listen to it (cringy but it helps). Be aware that you may get competency questions and have a few situations in mind. Finally, do two things. First, have a deal on-hand that the bank is tied to that you can reference if needed (and also maybe another deal in the market that you find interesting - at the time of writing the 7/11 situation is quite topical). Second, have some good questions to ask at the end of the interview.
Good luck
Thanks for the advice, do you think there is a particular topic they might ask for, as they also work on refinancing/arranging debt agreements etc?
