Crack the IB Technicals: 10 Questions You Must Be Prepared to Answer

Investment banking technicals can make or break your interview — and most candidates underestimate how deep firms really go. In this live workshop, we’ll walk through ten must-know technical questions that every top candidate masters before stepping into the room, covering everything from valuation fundamentals to three-statement logic, merger math, and real-world applications. You’ll discover the technical topics that consistently show up across bulge bracket, elite boutique, and middle-market interviews, and how to structure clear, confident answers even under pressure. We’ll also unpack the common traps interviewers use to test your depth of understanding and outline a proven four-week technical prep plan you can follow immediately after the session. This is an interactive, fast-paced workshop — expect to answer questions live, follow along in real-time drills, and see how your responses stack up against actual interview standards. By the end, you’ll know exactly what to prioritize in your technical prep, understand the difference between “good” and “great” answers, and walk away with a roadmap to master the most important concepts before first-rounds and Superdays.
