MBA Summer Associate Recruiting AMA
With MBA Investment Banking Summer Associate in full swing I wanted to create this thread to answer any questions. Went through the process myself a few years ago at a target and know it can be quite daunting given the black box of who gets coffee chats, invite only’s and so on. There’s much less info on MBA recruiting on this forum in general so though a dedicated thread could be helpful. Recruiting, comp, culture, group selection ask away!
How were the interview difficulty for summer associate positions? Obviously it varies by bank but would like to get a sense.
First rounds at many EBs were pure technical screens, fairly challenging. Medium/ hard questions in the BIWS guides prep you well
Most BBs, except for GS, we’re very check the box type technicals, walk through dcf, write down through the 3 statements
