"Investment Banking Interview Prep If I pay off a loan with a face value of $100 for $90 do I record a gain or loss What adjustments do I need to make to the cash flow statement Assume no taxes need to be paid. A) Gain; CFO ($10) CFF ($90). B) Loss; CFO +$10 CFF ($90). C) Gain; CFO +$10 CFF ($90). D) Loss; CFO ($10) CFF ($90). 💡Explanation: If you pay off a loan at $10 below its face value you would record a gain because you are settling the debt for less than its full amount. This results in a $10 gain on the income statement. Since there are no taxes involved in this scenario the entire $10"

"90 Percent Miss This Investment Banking Interview Question Most Investment Banking candidates memorize Enterprise Value = Equity + Debt Cash. But they miss the deeper point the formula isnt the concept. The underlying concept of Enterprise Value is the purchase price of the entire business or asset.

"Do I need a CFA to get into IB No you do not need a CFA to get into in investment banking You can learn a ton about finance from the CFA but it is probably one of the least time efficient things you can do if your goal is to get into investment banking. On the recruiting side of things it is a marginal factor at best. In general certifications do not help you get a job in any meaningful way in investment banking private equity or hedge funds especially in the US and Europe/UK. Your time is much better spent mastering your technicals crafting compelling behavioral answers and networking. #CFA"
