Questions to ask during Spring Week

Hi guys, What are some high quality questions that you usually ask investment bankers (either junior or senior). Not something that everyone asks like the culture or favorite tasks.

As an investment banker, what are some questions that you enjoy being asked or that you wish more people would ask?

Thanks!

It is good to ask about deals they worked on that they enjoyed, then possibly ask them questions based on what they say for example, what was the role of their team/bank on this deal. Although due to the confidentiality of deals, they may not be able to talk much about it, however, this is a good way to show you're interested. You could ask what type of tasks interns/analysts/their position will do during these transactions to get a good sense of what the job entails.
