What is included in...

Interviewers simply will not ask questions that are in commonly read sources like BIWS, which have been floating around for 10+ years and have been read by most investment bankers on Wall Street. To stand out in the interview, you need to customize your behaviorals to best display your achievements in a way that is relevant to the deal-related requirements of the role. You also need to answer advanced technical questions that test your fundamental understanding of critical accounting, valuation, and financial modeling concepts, without relying on rote memorization.
