Investment banking candidates usually know technical questions matter. The harder part is knowing which questions actually show up in interviews. IB Technical Prep is built around that gap, with practice tied to real technical questions from banks, groups, and recruiting processes rather than only broad finance summaries.
The core product is a technical question bank across accounting, enterprise value, equity value, valuation, DCFs, comparable companies, precedent transactions, LBOs, merger models, purchase accounting, debt schedules, working capital, depreciation, taxes, free cash flow, and returns analysis. Those topics connect in interviews. A banker may start with depreciation, move into the three statements, then ask how the same concept affects a DCF or LBO.
The platform also includes firm-specific preparation. That coverage spans bulge brackets such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan, Bank of America, Citi, Barclays, UBS, Deutsche Bank, Wells Fargo, and RBC. It also includes elite boutiques such as Evercore, Lazard, Centerview, PJT, Moelis, Perella Weinberg, Qatalyst, Rothschild, Guggenheim, and Greenhill, plus middle market firms including Jefferies, Houlihan Lokey, Harris Williams, Lincoln International, William Blair, Piper Sandler, Raymond James, Baird, Stifel, and Cantor Fitzgerald.
Group coverage matters too. ECM questions can focus on IPOs, follow-ons, market windows, convertibles, and valuation ranges. DCM can lean toward ratings, bond math, yield, duration, leverage, and refinancing risk. Technology, FIG, healthcare, oil and gas, industrials, and private capital advisory each bring different technical and commercial angles.
The point is realistic practice. Reading a guide creates familiarity, but interviews require retrieval under pressure. Candidates need to answer follow-ups, explain the logic behind formulas, and connect technical mechanics to business meaning.
The cleanest use is fundamentals first, then real interview questions, then firm and group specificity. That progression gives candidates a better chance of sounding precise and calm when the interview moves beyond memorized definitions.
