Agenda

Breaking Down Qualitative Questions - 2 Hours
During this 3-hour intensive interview prep class, an experienced investment banking instructor will introduce the most common qualitative investment banking and finance interview questions and decompose each one to train participants to read between the lines and understand what is really being asked.

Qualitative investment banking interview questions can always be divided into the following 4 types:

• Open-ended questions
• Close-ended questions
• Anecdotal questions
• Skills questions

After each question is analyzed, the class will learn how to answer each question optimally.

Recruiters are often testing whether you would fit within the company’s culture, so your answers need to convey this understanding. During class, we break down general interview strategies to ensure interview success.
