SeoulPosted May 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

After a recruiter call, I ended up with a fairly classic investment banking interview flow: a mix of technical and behavioral, but with the technical side doing most of the heavy lifting.

I was asked to talk through my fit and motivations, then I got pulled into valuation questions where they really wanted a structured explanation. The questions leaned heavily into TEV and DCF, and they also tested what I knew about comps-style thinking and capital structure relationships through cap-related topics.

What surprised me was how much weight was put on getting the mechanics right while still staying clear under pressure. I had to talk through deal-relevant concepts rather than just recite definitions—explaining work I’d done and walking through how I approached M&A-style analysis.
