Did not expect them to ask technical questions, but was able to answer them. 1. How do you value a company? Walk me through your steps. 2. Does a utility firm or a biotech firm have a higher PE? 3. How do you calculate WACC? 4. How would you recommend a firm to optimize its WACC? 5. FCFF vs FCFE 6. Others are all behavioral. Know your DCF and basic valuation methods. Be personable.

The case study really wasn't very difficult. I wish I'd taken their advice they gave on their website to take a few moments to plan my answers to the questions they ask. The nerves got the best of me and I answered each one immediately. I think I could've given better answers had I thought about my answers more.

Tell me about a time you had to think outside the box. Tell me about a time when you had to deal with a difficult coworker/team member. Tell me about yourself. Why EY? Most complicated thing you have done on Excel. Tell me about a time you had to make a big transition in life and how did you deal with it.
