Investment banking interview questions - practice with AI-driven feedback and our real insights
Investment banking interview questions designed to prepare you: simulating the investment banking interview room before you’re even in it.
Practicing for interviews is tough when it’s all theory – we get it. There were countless days and nights where going over a DCF is all our brain’s turned to mush for.
You rehearse your story, you memorize how to walk someone through an LBO – but no one’s really putting you under pressure, except yourself or your other friend doing the same applications.
That’s what this feature is for. Our real interview questions aren’t just warmups – they recreate the feeling of being in the room or doing the video interview: feel the time pressure and get the sometimes harsh (virtual) senior feedback until it doesn’t faze you anymore.
Real prompts across 6 key chapters of investment banking interview prep.
You’ll get open-ended interview questions across:
Behavioral
Market Sizing
Technicals (valuation, accounting, and more!)
Communication & Judgement
Execution
Work Habits
Each one is tagged by skill, grouped by chapter, and structured to reflect the kinds of judgment calls and communication challenges you’ll face in actual interviews.
We've taken the time to ensure each question mirrors what you'll face in your interviews, whether for a Spring Week, internship, or assessment centre. AnalystDen is here to prepare you for questions about DCFs, LBOs, market awareness, judgement calls, and more - with confidence.
We’ve been on your side and theirs: screening applicants and interviewing stellar candidates. What are bankers wondering in the room?
Can this person communicate clearly AND naturally, even under pressure?
Do they actually understand the concepts they’re explaining, or have they just memorized them all?
Would I trust them to take ownership, even at the smallest level?
Do they seem humble enough to take on constructive criticism?
Would I want to work with this person at 2am?
Notice how none of these questions are about the intricate specifics behind “Walk me through a DCF?” or whatever else.
We’re not saying don’t prepare for your technicals. You definitely should take the time to do so. But tell us this – how does that make you stand out from every other applicant who has nailed the classic answers?
Investment banks don’t want a robot. They want someone who wants to be useful from week one. They’re looking for a proactive team player – someone they’re genuinely happy to invest time into training up.
And that’s why you’ll see more than just technical mock interviews on our site. Go check out our Analyst Mastery chapters – we’ve provided the tools and content: you just need to click and learn.
What happens when you answer?
Here’s the process:
You’re given a realistic interview-style question
You write your full answer (or say it to your camera – your choice) – ideally under time pressure
Our system scores your answer and gives structured AI-driven feedback per question, and overall feedback at the end of your interview
You see which skills you nailed - and which need work
Interviews don’t give you a cheat sheet. They give you a question, a stare, and 90 seconds of silence. You have to speak.
Everything is tracked.
So you can make the most out of your time, all of your interview questions are:
Tagged by skill type
Scored using AI-driven feedback
Tracked in your dashboard – so you can see exactly how you’re doing and what to work on next
Final word
You don’t rise to the occasion in an interview – being able to connect with them on a human level doesn’t just happen magically on the day. You fall back on your preparation. These questions simulate that moment – so when it’s real, it’s not your first time.
