Could you please do a video on general competency questions like teamwork, communication, innovation etc. What kind of experience would best describe these and does your example have to be professional or can be also from volunteering and networking events? Does professional experience outweigh your other experiences when it comes to competency based questions? Thanks

      Ceos and top-notch companies go to investment banks to be advised on how to manage really important decisions that will affect the future of the company, so what you do as an investment banker is important. You get to work with some of the nicest and smartest colleagues, IB's are very competitive environments so it is smart to assume you will be surrounded by special and hardworking people. You meet people from the most elite institutions in the world that are the best at what they do.

    im a first year student studying maths and stats at Univeristy of Liverpool, and i have an interview for a summer internship soon and i cant lie im freaking out. Due to covid i havent been able to do a lot of the extra curricular activities i intended. ive joined but so far nothings happened. i have been doing online courses and stuff and i actually do invest in my free time but im just scared that thats too cliche. My interviewers recently sent email saying their cameras wont be on, and so i cant even read the room. Do you think they will ask me complicated investing questions, because so far my knowledge isnt amazing, its okay but im only first year. i hope it goes well
