Swinging through the jungle of finance interviews, I've seen some tough nuts to crack. Here are a couple of brain-busters that have made the rounds:
"What is your beta?" - This one's a classic. It's not just about knowing what beta is, but also being able to discuss its relevance to a company or your own investment portfolio, and how it relates to the risk and expected return.
"If you were shrunk to the size of a pencil and put in a blender, how would you get out?" - Goldman Sachs was known for this doozy. It's less about the practicality of the situation and more about assessing your problem-solving skills and creativity.
Remember, it's not just about the answer, but how you peel the layers of the question and present your thought process. Keep your cool, and show them that even when the market goes bananas, you can still make a-peeling decisions.
