What are they getting at?

  1. What are the most important things to you in a job?
  2. Describe the ideal position for you within our Firm?
  3. What qualities do you think make someone successful in business (investment banking)?

I believe this will come up IBD SA interview, and I was wondering if I can have some direction on the key elements that I should hit on in answering these questions. Any suggestions would be great!!
