Domanda 1
They asked me standard IB behaviourals and technicals: first round was with an associate asking me accounting technical questions, with progressive difficulty: From tell me the 3 financial statements to why multiples might differ from a US or European company (look EBITDA GAAP vs IFRS adjustments). Then a "case study" which is basically a multi-step adjustments of the 3 financial statements.
2nd interview few behavioral, then asked me what does a IB do as services (Sell/Buy side M&A, firepower analysis, fair opinion assessment and board defense), and then valuation questions (from the BIWS 400 questions, you know the drill), and then he pulled a balance sheet of a Dutch company and asked me from that to do a EV to equity bridge.
