Your view on our advert in today's paper
Question
Our firm has placed an advertisement for a transaction in today's financial press. What do you think of it?
Short answer
Read the financial press on interview day. Be ready to describe the deal (issuer, size, type of security, the firm's role) and comment sensibly on its rationale and market context. The question tests preparation and genuine interest, so not having seen it is a weak start.
