Asked basic qs from IB400. Drilled a lot on motivation. Also asked about past deal experience. Introduced the team main focus is on cross-border M&A and ECM. Overall, nothing too difficult or out of the box.
Difficult interview
Application
I interviewed at CACIB
Interview
Structured in several steps. The first ones, with younger members of the teams, are more technical while the last ones are more qualitative. Overall the entire process is fair and competitive.
A bit tougher than expected. Definitely know M&A and LBO questions.
Also, make sure you actually know the technical questions. They will test you heavily on them.
Be prepared for brain teasers as well.
