Hi, 

I have worked with many students on helping them to prepare for Investment Banking interviews. 

The first round will consist of competency based questions that test your personality traits aligned to the firm (e.g. when have you worked well under pressure) as well as a high level review of key valuation topics (e.g. DCF). 

I'm happy to discuss further in a session and help you prepare to achieve an offer.

I landed a first-round interview at a top bank, but I can’t shake the feeling that I don’t actually belong. Everyone I’ve met so far has incredible credentials and I feel like I’m the weakest candidate. How can I stop doubting myself?
