投行面试后的血泪教训：不是面试官太套路，而是我没有背答案…
前几天有的面试投行的同学说
之前看到过高盛花旗的历年面试题
瞥了一眼觉得自己完全能够临场发挥
可是万万没想到
这是人生三大错觉之一
到了面试现场就完全懵逼
今天留学生求职就整理了
投行高频面试题目类型以及解题思路
还有不同投行不同岗位的面试真题
希望下一个面试投行的同学
走通了面试官的套路
几乎每次面试都会有这个问题，通常出现在HR电话面试中。这个问题是为了考察你有没有进行研究，面试官希望你了解你是否符合公司的价值和文化。
获得信息的最佳方式就是在公司的官网上查看他们的公司发展历史，文化理念。或者联系校友或公司内在人员，问问他们公司文化的独特性所在，并且用在面试中。
In talking to a number of people at your bank, I get the sense that your culture is what really distinguishes it from its competitors. While this firm provides top-notch service and competes with all the major firms, those I have spoken with say it maintains a boutique feel. This allows for smaller deal teams, which will give me more responsibility and—I hope—more exposure to live deals. Additionally, as many hours as are worked in finance, I think one of the most important things is to get along with your colleagues. All those I spoke with here said they respect their colleagues and are friends with them both in and out of the office.
这些强项最好要和你申请的岗位对口，分点来答，每一项能力之后要有案例支持。你可以说：“比如说，有一次……”这样的话你可以开始你的故事。提供一个例子，证明你作为数理分析员所应该具有的分析能力，沟通能力，能迅速学习的能力，对细节非常看重的能力。
As you can probably tell from my resume, I have strong quantitative skills and performed well in school. However, I think one of my greatest strengths is vital for finance but not necessarily something that can be documented. That is my ability to learn quickly. At my internship last summer, I was brought into the office by my boss, given an old version of an Excel model and a list of variables he wanted to be able to tweak, and told to go rebuild the model from scratch. At the time, I had no previous modeling experience, no training, and no idea what I was doing. I knew my boss didn’t have time to hold my hand through the process so I had to teach myself. I bought a book and used Internet resources to learn how to rebuild the model to my boss’s specifications, in a very short amount of time. My boss was amazed at the quality of the model, and it is now being used for his analysis and in presentations to clients.
这确实是很难回答的问题，有的同学没有实习经验或者一路有贵人相助，一时间根本想不出有遇到过什么困难，那么就会给面试官一种你没有能力，没有经验的印象。这个时候就联系自己的生活校园中的活动，从细节入手，在活动中说出你的收获和成长，并可以为以后的工作带来什么益处。
The biggest obstacle I have had to overcome was paying for college. I managed to do it in a combination of ways. Initially, I took out student loans, but then I began paying my tuition in cash and paying off some of my student debt early. I’ve waited tables several nights a week throughout all my college years, and I now work at a very popular restaurant, which pays me pretty well on a consistent basis. However, what I have most enjoyed doing to support myself is graphic design. In high school, I was into art and photography and my graphic design skills are pretty strong. When I began my business education, I didn’t have time for those types of classes, and I missed it. However, I have been able to earn extra money developing logos, letterhead, business cards, and presentations for student start-ups as well as some local businesses. All of this extra work has helped me to pay for a good portion of my college costs.
What role do you like to take in a team situation?
考验你团队精神的时候到了，谈论一些你曾经的参与过的项目证明你在两个角色都可以做得很好。或者谈论一些团队合作技巧（沟通能力，协作技巧等）这些沟通技巧是如何在作为领导者以及作为组员中发挥作用。
I’m comfortable leading a team or taking instructions from another leader. When the leadership isn’t appointed, I think it’s useful to consider my teammates’ concerns and preferences. In one of my classes last year, I was placed in a group where nobody was confident about the subject matter, so they all kind of shied away from taking responsibility. In that particular group, I thought I could help by taking initiative, so I stepped up to coordinate the group’s assignments. In another group situation, where one student was insisting on taking charge, I was happy to support him. He was able to communicate his ideas and organize a plan, which allowed the rest of us to deliver our tasks on time with high quality. Overall, I think the quality of leadership is more important than who provides it, and most important of all is the quality of the team’s work. Since every situation presents a unique set of personalities, it’s important to read those personalities and identify how you best fit into the group dynamic.
What do you see as your weaknesses as an employee?
中国面试官往往用这个提问来衡量申请人是否有自知之明或者开诚布公的勇气，外国面试官则往往更加注重这个问题的“后续问题”——你将如何避免因自己的缺点而影响工作质量。
这个问题可大可小，千万不能较真，可以说大家共有的通病，例如：对于自己感兴趣的话题或者领域，会非常喜欢讨论，甚至有点爱出风头。但是见到了更多的大牛，就明白了山外有人，我需要学习的更多。
Well, maybe my weakness sounds a little bit strange to you. I think my weakness is that I talk too much. I like to express my opinions. My classmates say I am bossy and like to show off. I’ve also noticed that I don’t listen enough because I am talking too much. So I write down a reminder on my notebook, “Listen more, speak less.” But interestingly enough, even when I feel I am speaking little my co-workers still pat my shoulder and say, “Susan, you are an active person!” The “talker” impression doesn’t go away easily.
Do you have any question?
这个问题也几乎是每家公司都要问的，千万不要不说话！（最怕空气突然的安静），都进行到面试了，下一步基本就是拿offer，但是你需要了解的问题还是很多。员工培训、员工晋升（大概几年晋升到什么岗位，部门的体系）、员工福利（除了基本工资，还有什么其他福利）等方面的问题。
除了以上通问的面试问题之外，还有不同投行的不同岗位曾经的面试真题。
