The 100 questions asked in M&A interviews
Technical questions, fit and superday pitfalls: recurring questions in M&A summer, off-cycle and full-time recruitment, and what the interviewer is actually assessing.
What you will find in the guide
- Technical questions organised by topic: accounting, links between the three financial statements, EV-to-equity bridge, DCF, multiples, LBOs and accretion/dilution.
- Recurring fit questions — “why M&A?”, “why this bank?”, “walk me through a deal” — and what the banker is listening for.
- The follow-up questions a VP asks after a correct first answer, and mistakes that can cost you the offer at a superday.
- A concise PDF to review the day before: each question followed by a model answer in a few lines.
