I hope I can start as an equity analyst and then work my way on the M&A desk because I have passion for understanding different companies in different industries. I also like the challenge of planning, structuring, negotiating, and executing deals. Not sure if it's possible though.
It is always important to know the job that you are applying for and why you want to work in that particular department so that you can ace any job interview that you have. Employers place importance on the "why do you want to work here" question.
There are many things that people need to know about interviewing for a job where it is due and if they can answer the questions perfectly they will win.
Thanks for the info! I never really gave it much though as to where exactly id want to work in IB or what id enjoy the most.
Joe's my favorite WSO mentor.
Great intro video.
GS used to have a quiz that allowed candidates determine what role would be most appropriate for them based on their work styles, and ability to work with others.
Great intro video.
GS used to have a quiz that allowed candidates to determine which role(s) would be most appropriate for them based on a few key questions about their preferences with working conditions, travel, stress, and ability to interact with others.
Really informative video, thanks!
Awesome post. Especially helpful with regard to Lev Fin.
Joe should launch a PE fund.
I was eagerly anticipating research... can he write down what he would've said for research in the comments?
Really enjoyed the break down of ECM and DCM. Any one know what he would have said about research?
What about coverage teams?
This info was really helpful, now I just need to research all of them!
