Tell me about a recent deal you've been following.

Answer

Choose a deal from the past 6-12 months that aligns with the firm's focus and the role you're interviewing for. Cover: (1) Buyer and seller; (2) Deal size and structure; (3) Strategic rationale — why did the buyer want the target; (4) Valuation — was the price reasonable based on multiples or DCF; (5) Your view — was this a good deal and what could go wrong.
