Likely interview questions for this role

Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.

About your past

Why commercial and corporate banking, and why the Financials and Diversified track in particular?

What they are checking: Whether they have a real reason for this path and know what lending to businesses and financial institutions involves.

Tell me about a time you had to learn something complicated quickly for a class, job or project.

What they are checking: Whether they can absorb new material fast, since interns are expected to contribute after only a short ramp-up.

Describe a team project where someone wasn't pulling their weight. How did you handle it?

What they are checking: Whether they can work through friction professionally, which matters on deal teams that depend on everyone delivering.

What would you want to have learned by the end of the ten weeks?

What they are checking: Whether they have clear goals for the internship and will take ownership of their own development.

What would you do

You're given a spreadsheet model to update and notice a formula error that changes the answer. The analyst who built it is busy. What do you do?

What they are checking: Whether they speak up about mistakes tactfully, since accuracy matters more than avoiding an awkward moment.

How do you handle having several assignments due at once from different people?

What they are checking: Whether they can prioritize and communicate about deadlines instead of quietly missing one.

About the work

Walk me through the three financial statements and how they connect.

What they are checking: Whether they have the accounting foundation every credit analyst needs before they can contribute in a ten-week program.

If a company's revenue is growing but its cash is falling, what might be going on?

What they are checking: Whether they can reason about working capital and cash flow, which is what lenders actually care about.

What makes analyzing a financial company, like an insurer or asset manager, different from analyzing a manufacturer?

What they are checking: Whether they have thought about the Financials and Diversified coverage and understand that balance sheets work differently there.

Tell me about something in financial news recently that would matter to a bank lending to large companies.

What they are checking: Whether they follow markets and can connect interest rates or credit conditions to the business they want to join.
