    Interview Questions: Finance



    Question: Why do you want to do investment
    banking/investment management/whatever
    career you plan to pursue?
    Answer: This is a question you are almost
    guaranteed to receive. First and foremost, you
    must emphasize that you know what the finance
    department in which you are interviewing does.
    When asked the question, you need not state
    that youve yearned to be in finance your life, but
    you should illustrate succinctly that you know
    the job functions of the position for which you
    are interviewing, that you enjoy performing
    these functions and that you have developed the
    core skills required (i.e., analytical ability, good
    communication skills and, of course, a strong
    work ethic and willingness to put in the hours to
    do the job). Dont say that youre in it for the
    money.

    Question: What motivates you?
    Answer: Think through this one. First of all, you
    should indicate that you are highly motivated.
    Second, remember the profile that finance
    interviews are generally looking for. Appropriate
    answers include financial security, problem-
    solving, deadlines, managing risk and
    productivity. Again, be prepared to give
    examples.

    Question: What is the biggest risk youve ever
    taken?
    Answer: Those interested in investment

    management, private equity, venture capital and


    market-based positions will likely get this
    question. Be sure to talk about the personal or
    professional risk you took, as well as why you
    believed it was worth the risk.

    Question: Where do you see yourself in five
    years? 10 years?
    Answer: This is a popular question for MBAs, as
    firms are looking to make a long-term
    investment in these new employees. Recent
    college graduates should be prepared to talk
    about their goals too, but its often assumed that
    the turnover for these employees is higher.
    Regardless, be sure to research the hierarchy of
    the firm, as well as where most graduates in
    your shoes are in five years at the firm.

    Question: Give me an example of a project
    that youve done that involved heavy
    analytical thinking.
    Answer: Candidates without a financial
    background should have an answer prepared for
    this question that describes a work or school
    project, focusing on the part that required a lot
    of number crunching.

    Question: Tell me about an accomplishment
    that you are proud of.
    Answer: This is your chance to shine.
    Remember: team-oriented, analytical,
    hardworking and dependable.
