Only 2% of applicants are successful in their investment banking recruitment and a large proportion of candidates fail there interviews over simple questions. In this video I will show you what questions you need to prepare for, most will be surprised by the level of knowledge you will need, hence why only 2% are successful every year.

Investment Banking Interviews are broken into two parts Behavioural & technical questions. To be successful you will need to ace both sets of questions regardless of your background.

Behavioural / Competency questions are designed to see how you cope under pressure and to see how well you know about the industry and the life of an investment banker. Theses questions are often overlooked but if you get one of these questions wrong then you might as well just walk out of the interview room.

Technical questions are broken into the following
1) Basic Accounting
2) Finance
3) Financial Valuation
4) M&A
5) LBO
6) Brain teasers

Behavioural questions:
Walk me through your resume

What are your weaknesses
What are your strengths

Just had to say, I’ve been through 8 Analyst/IBD interviews since September. And this video has gotten me to the final stage of each. I’m just revisiting now, but this was my life line, combined with course material and my own research/reflection of course work to build this massive interview study guide. Still waiting and praying for an offer/more interviews, but this guy’s got it figured out, use him and everything he’s got to say! Thank you for all the help!

You're the best, man. I only watched this video and felt confident to walk into an IB interview with no previous experience besides a few notions about investments. I passed the first round and completed the second (final) round. I got a call saying that I got the offer at one of the top banks in the world.

This was perhaps one of the most valuable videos I watched and used to prepare for my investment banking interviews. The advice you provided helped me tailor the "Tell me about yourself" interview question. I can honestly say that by personalizing this answer it set a good tone for the interview and made me a much more memorable candidate. Thank you!

I dont think interviews for first year analysts can get any harder than this tutorial.

You know that time when your 14 and want to pursue investment banking but then watch this video in full and realize that it's never gonna happen ._.

I think this is a good video followed by a good comment for all to note that every bitcoin investor right now is just smiling at the price of bitcoin as it held strong and indeed valuable enough to generating good ROI. More persons are going to become millionaires and we have bitcoin to thank for that.

What is the answer to how can a company reduce Debt/EBITDA without increasing EBITDA or paying debt? Is it to raise equity to pay off the debt?

[Meyouletsgo]

This is very very helpful. I have interview with VP as last round via phone which might be easier as I can ‘use a ‘cheatsheet’ or google. But I’m wondering how we set the tone and if they ask about compensation, should I just give generic answer until I get official offer ? And can you give us tips on recommended unique questions to ask at the end so we can really stand out from the competition? Or what’s a red flag from your experience that candidates raise while answering questions !
Thank you in advance.

I am holding a BA degree in business administrations and I want to have a career in an investment bank. I'am in my 4th year and I really want an internship. However, I couldn't answer any of the technical questions except the accounting ones. What are my chances in getting an internship?

[shashanktiwari]

Thank for the video sir
Can you please spare some time on my query too ? I am a biology graduate student, completed PGDBF and currently working in PSB. How can I proceed to get into investment bank?
Your words will highly be appreciated sir.
Thanks
