[SkutyMgp]

How do you calculate the cost of equity - that's a great question 😂😂😂

[JQ]

Not sure how I got here. Did these 10 years ago when I started banking. All I gotta say is: memorize these and run thru the questions 10x and you are set

[strictlyyoutube]

Learned a lot from this and Im not even looking for a job in IB. Heck I don't even need a job I have a business, but learned a lot!

for private market beta you can use the r square for comparable firms like median beta divided by the rsquare that is the explained variance, effectively you get unexplained variance that is the idiosyncratic risk

[McLovinKarma]

Im majored in finance now working in credit risk. I dont know all formulas off the top of my head but knowing how to use excel is the key. Most of your work will be on a computer, if u cant remember google that shit

[NotMyProblemAnyways]

Investment bankers recruiting basically through a youtube ad. Times are tough😂

[aguy]

He's a business man doing BUSINESS

[magicsaint]

Softwares answers all the formula questions so not sure why ask this off-hand. It should be assumed one already knows how to calculate based on their credentials. Analysis of companies based on the available data type of questions makes more sense.

[dylanallen]

These comments saying this is easy geez… I forgot all this stuff one year out of school 😂😂

[sherryflavour]

I wish they would ask easy questions such as this at interviews lol

[juanitoqueintin]

Bruh if they ask formulas I’m finished

[lp]

What did he mean with his answer in the levered vs unlvrd cashflow question?

[Greedo]

Yo na if my future interviews are like this im screwed

[davidc]

What is a DCF and IRR. What is exotic option.

[codingwithlos]

All this is answerable by Advanced AI goodbye banking jobs finally

[NotMyProblemAnyways]

No one will hire you based on regurgitation of formula. This is a choreographed vocab test. They are trying to encourage people who know nothing to get into the field. When fields are suffering they do not recruit people who are intelligent in the field, they’ve already tried that. They are now recruiting regular people who would have never had a chance in the field with the shiny optimism of “this is a job above your caliber that you can get if you do the bare minimum but this is a job you might not have gotten otherwise but we are desperate” then when you get it, they treat you like a slave.

[salnits]

I have no idea about any of this since im not even in a remotely close field, but if in my interviews they asked actual formulas I would leave on the spot as you already know they're clueless

[romangutin]

Why is knowing this off-hand considered useful?

[michchanel]

No true interviewer will ask question from an ipad😂😂😂

[joshgeorge]

I thought this was a parody at first, do they actually ask such simple questions? I learned 3/4 of this in one course
