What do you like about banking question

Had this come up in a lateral interview, I can't remember all of what I said but what I know I did mention which is genuinely what I really like about this job - is that you learn about all these different companies you never even knew existed as a consumer, and they're billion dollar companies, they might make your elevator or your banking software and the interconnectedness of it all, imo, is really cool. I know its perhaps slightly less traditional of an answer but wondering if it's good or if I should change it?

 

Some people like deals and m&a, financial analysis, others like the sector they specialize in while making relatively higher comp than most other fields

 

 

So you think the answer is good and legit? It was with an MD

 

The job is probably more interesting at the mid and senior levels than when you're an intern. Most of my day during my internship was doing comments for my analysts, comps and other misc asks
