Ideally pick something that had an uncommon twist or unique difference which makes it interesting and if possible one which the bank you are interviewing with had advised on. Past 1 to 2 years is reasonable. Then have a second and third deal that you know some information about just in case.

 

Stop crowd sourcing your interview prep

You literally haven't even bothered looking up "M&A transactions 2022" if all you can come up with is J&J and Twitter 

Go find a Bloomberg Terminal/Pitchbook/Factset, Pick a transaction that the firm you're interviewing with was involved in, Explain the deal rationale, Memorize key multiples and comps....Done

 

I agree I really just wanted input on what the time limit was bc I found some good deals from the bank I’m interviewing at but it was a year ago and one was 2 years ago (both in industries I’m familiar with so I can expand upon a lot) & if it was a good idea to talk ab a deal at a different firm which I’m trying to stay away from
