What to do if interviewer asks you what other banks you have applied to?
See title. Happened to a friend who was applying to a bank last year and always wondered what the best response was.
I guess on a broader level, what's the best way to address banks' concerns about summer analysts being unenthusiastic about the firm itself. I think a lot of smaller banks are concerned about ' flight risk '. I guess that's where the question comes from? Not sure how I would react if asked.
IMO best approach is to name banks similar to the one you are interviewing at - i.e. if you are interviewing at an EB with a strong tech group, name another EB with a strong tech group. Alternatively, if you want to be in Dallas, name other firms with groups in Dallas.
The idea here is to show that you know what you want and you understand what the firm has to offer. Interviewers understand that the process is very competitive and use this question more to gauge whether you’re really interested in working at a firm of their size/location/group/etc. They aren’t looking for you to say “this is the only place I want to work”
Hey that's awesome thanks
