Episode 64: How Much Do Investment Bankers ACTUALLY Make

One of the more advanced topics in investment banking technical interviews involves doing M&A math… also known as “accretion / dilution.”
I recently did a mock interview with one of our students where we went over this exact topic, and I thought it would be a great opportunity for you to learn how to answer this question as well.

Episode 80: What are the Drivers that Affect Accretion / Dilution?

One of the most common questions asked during full time recruiting is talking about a deal or pitch that you got to work on.
However, what if you feel like you didn’t actually do that much?
Check out how I was able to help this student turn his minimal role on the pitch to something he can talk about and be proud of during his interview.

Episode 81: What was an Interesting Pitch You got to Work on?

One of the technical concepts that trips up a lot of candidates is the mid-year convention in a DCF.
You not only need to know what it is, and how it works…
But the tricky part is how to explain it in a concise and articulate manner to your interviewer (this is where most people mess up).
It’s really not that hard though!
Watch as I explain this concept to a student step by step.

Episode 82: How to Explain the Mid-Year Convention in a DCF

Did you know that when you are answering interview questions, it’s actually possible to lead the interview in the direction that you want them to go in?

The benefit of doing this is that you can almost steer them into asking you the questions that you want to be asked, which results in less curveball questions and you giving better answers that you’ve already prepared ahead of time.

But this is more advanced and is easier said that done, so how exactly do you do it?

Hear me coach one of my students on how to do exactly this.

Episode 205: How to "Control" the Interview

If you want to get more interviews, networking is going to be the most important part of the recruiting process.

But networking is not just having a single conversation with a banker and then moving onto the next. You have to learn to nurture the relationship over a longer period of time so that it doesn’t feel transactional to the banker.

But how can you go back to networking contacts that you’ve already spoken in the past, and keep them engaged and make sure they don’t forget about you?

Watch this video to hear me coach one of our students on how to do exactly this.
