How the session works

Answer in the browser

Run a real prompt out loud. Start with voice, then add camera mode when presentation matters.

Drill plan

The guide distilled into what to rehearse.

The guide is compressed into drills: what EY (Ernst & Young)tests, where Investment Banking Analyst candidates miss, and which voice or video rep to run next.

Drill 1

Interview focus

Preparing for an Investment Banking Analyst interview at EY (Ernst & Young)

Drill 2

What the EY Interview Process Looks Like

EY's investment banking analyst interview process typically runs across three to four weeks from initial application to offer. You'll start with a phone screen—usually 30 minutes with a recruiter who confirms your background, motivation, and basic technical literacy.

Drill 3

What Kind of Questions They Ask

EY investment banking interviews blend behavioral, technical, and deal focused questions. You'll encounter standard behavioral prompts: "Tell me about a time you worked under pressure" or "Describe a situation where you disagreed with a team member." These aren't throwaway—they're testing communication clarity and self awareness.

Drill 4

What EY Looks For in an Investment Banking Analyst

EY wants analysts who can execute transactions and grow into the firm. That means technical competence—you need to understand financial statements, valuation methods, and deal mechanics. But it's not just about knowing formulas. They're hiring for intellectual curiosity: can you ask smart questions about why a deal makes sense, or why it doesn't?

Drill 5

Common Pitfalls

The most common mistake is vague answers. "I'm interested in finance because I like numbers" or "I want to work in banking because it's prestigious" will end interviews fast. Interviewers have heard this hundreds of times.

Drill 6

The 48 Hour Prep Plan

Day 1 (36 hours before interview): Review three recent EY investment banking deals. Read the press release, understand the strategic rationale, and note deal size, sectors, and client names. Run through a DCF model from scratch. Use a simple public company (Apple, Microsoft, etc.).
