Drill 1

Interview focus

Preparing for an Investment Banking Analyst interview at Centerview Partners

Drill 2

What the Centerview Partners interview process looks like

Centerview Partners runs a structured but intense process for analyst hires. You'll typically start with a phone screen—usually 30 to 45 minutes with a recruiter or junior banker who assesses your technical foundation and motivation.

Drill 3

What kind of questions they ask

Centerview asks a mix of technical and behavioral questions, with heavy emphasis on deal intuition and client thinking. On the technical side, expect questions about valuation methods. They'll ask you to walk through how you'd value a company, what assumptions matter most, and how you'd explain it to a client who doesn't know finance.

Drill 4

What Centerview Partners looks for in an Investment Banking Analyst

Centerview is known for a client centric culture and high technical bar. They want analysts who are genuinely curious about business, not just eager to check a box on their resume. On the technical side, they expect you to be fluent in the core tools: DCF modeling, comparable company analysis, precedent transactions, and basic M&A math.

Drill 5

Common pitfalls

The biggest mistake is vagueness. When asked about a deal or a valuation method, candidates often give a surface level answer and hope it lands. Centerview bankers will push back. They'll ask a follow up question that exposes whether you actually understand the concept or just memorized it. If you don't know, say so and show how you'd figure it out.

Drill 6

The 48 hour prep plan

Day 1 (24 hours before) Spend 90 minutes on technical fundamentals. Build a simple three statement model from scratch using a real company's financials. Walk through the logic out loud. If you get stuck, watch a 10 minute tutorial, then redo it without the video. Spend 60 minutes on Centerview specific research. Read their recent deals on their website.
