Finance Interview Preparation

Description

The Marquee Group offers interview preparation seminars to help participants prepare for finance interviews. Most finance interviewers ask three types of questions:

The sessions are focused on the most common technical finance questions that students should be prepared to answer during corporate finance interviews (e.g., for investment banking, equity research, private equity or corporate finance roles).
