Investment banking, equity research, valuation cases, behavioural superdays.
Investment banking, equity research, and corporate finance interviews share a common spine: technicals (valuation, accounting, modelling), market awareness, and behavioural fit. IB superdays compress 4 to 6 rounds into a day. Equity research adds a stock pitch. Buy-side roles add an investment thesis.
Each interview here is a 20 to 30 minute live conversation that runs the conversational rounds. Technical rounds (where you build a model live) need a different modality and are not in this catalog. The interviewer probes for clean DCF reasoning, accounting edge cases, and stock pitch defence. The scorecard separates technical accuracy from communication, because senior finance hires are made on the latter as much as the former.
