Accepted Answer

[Please note that I stands for Interviewer and C stands for Candidate]

C- Started with my work experience with EY and then highlighted a couple of standout points from my CV.

I- Why Investment Banking?

C-  a, My switch from audit to TAS, on how I did not know about such a team; my Audit Partner in EY suggesting and recommending TAS; how i liked the work in TAS subsequently.

b, The nexus with my work-ex, considering that I had worked with EY TAS in the FDD team.

C, FDD gave me a very limited visibility of the entire transaction as compared to IB where we would be involved throughout the transaction (end-to-end) and that being part of negotiations is one of the most interesting part of any transaction.

I- (Picked out one deal stated in my CV) Which transaction was this?

C- Explained that I won’t be able to inform this owing to confidentiality constraints since I've mentioned numbers in the CV and that no nexus should be established between the numbers and the target parties to the transaction.

I- Explain a little about the work you had done on any of the transactions.

C- Asked on which transaction would they prefer.

I- (Picked out the same deal as above) Tell us two things that you did on revenue.

I- We think you'd be well versed with various valuation methodologies.

C- Explained that although I'm aware of them theoretically, have not applied it at work, since my scope was restricted to FDD.
