In this short, Lucius, a WSO Academy student, breaks down a real investment banking interview experience where the questions went beyond basic depreciation or simple accounting concepts.

Instead of asking a standard “$10 depreciation” style question, the interviewer moved directly into a more applied scenario involving inventory purchases, subsequent sales at a profit, and how that impacts the financial statements.

The discussion then extended into more advanced topics like goodwill and M&A-related accounting, including goodwill impairment.

This is where many candidates get caught off guard.

Investment banking interviewers often assume you already understand the basics and instead test whether you can apply accounting concepts in real deal scenarios.

That means thinking through how transactions flow through financial statements, not just memorizing definitions.

If you're preparing for investment banking recruiting, private equity interviews, or technical finance interviews, this level of applied accounting is exactly what you should be ready for.
