About the role
This interview tests whether you can lead transactions rather than only produce analysis. The panel is looking for commercial judgement, command of valuation, disciplined execution and the confidence to advise senior clients when the evidence challenges their preferred answer.
How to prepare
- Select two completed or attempted transactions and be ready to explain your role, the difficult judgement and the outcome.
- Revisit valuation methods and prepare to explain when each method becomes unreliable.
- Practise describing how you would organise diligence, approvals, documentation and advisers on a live mandate.
- Prepare an example of challenging a client or senior colleague with evidence while preserving the relationship.
- Review how you allocate work, check quality and coach analysts and associates during demanding execution periods.
Common mistakes
- Describing transactions without making your own decisions and contribution clear.
- Treating valuation output as a single correct answer instead of a range shaped by assumptions.
- Focusing on presentation materials while overlooking approvals, diligence and execution risk.
- Claiming seniority without showing how you developed the team or improved its work.
