Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing out of the ordinary: Why William Blair? Why Investment Banking? Why this sector? Any particular deals we’ve worked on?
First round mix of standard investment banking technicals and then some behavioral questions about a recent deal that you liked, and material events to test your market knowledge. Overall, wasn't too bad but didn't make it to the next round.
