Wall Street 400 Q's (Non-technical) with Correct
Answers Updated 2024/2025

I realize it's still early in your career - you haven't even graduated yet - but have you given any thought

to your long-term plans? Do you think you'll stick with investment banking? - ✔✔If you're interviewing

for an Analyst position, you can be more uncertain about your future and just state you don't know 100%

where you'll be yet, but banking is what excites you most and is what will give you the skills you need to

succeed. For prospective Associates, you need to be more certain about your career path and show some

commitment - indicate you've done your homework, spoken with many people and really want to make

a career out of it.


What were a few areas that your team said you should try to improve upon? - ✔✔The 2 most important

points to remember with the "weaknesses" / "failure" question:


1. Give a real weakness rather than saying you "work too hard."


2. Show how you improved on it, using specific examples.


What are "real" weaknesses you could give? Maybe you weren't as communicative with the team as you

should have been at the start; maybe you got lost in the details sometimes and failed to see the big

picture; maybe you were too impatient with others or did not delegate tasks appropriately.


The point is to say something that is a real weakness but which is also not a "deal- breaker" - like saying

you don't like to work hard or can't stand working in teams.


After that, state how you're working to improve your weakness. Perhaps you gave more regular updates

to your superiors; or maybe you started leveraging other peoples' knowledge or the administrative staff

at your work more often.

, Let's imagine that your best friend is describing you in 3 words - which words would he/she use and

why? - ✔✔This is just, "Tell me your strengths" in disguise, but you need to narrow it down to 3 words.

Since it's your friend describing you, you don't want to say, "Driven, attentive to detail and a team

player!"


You do want to convey the same ideas - that you can work hard, play well in teams, and get things done

no matter what obstacles you face - but you should pick your own language to get this across.


For each word you list you should also give 1-2 sentences to back up what you say, using a specific

example for each one.


Imagine that I'm speaking to someone with whom you have not gotten along in the past - what would

he/she say about you? - ✔✔This is just a disguised "weaknesses" question. However, since it involves

someone else this time, it's better to give a weakness such as being stubborn and holding too rigidly to

your own views rather than some of the other faults you could state. Weaknesses related to team/group

settings are better here.


And once again, you need to emphasize how you've worked to improve whatever it is that you did not

do well at the time.


Don't say something like, "I get along with everyone!" as that sounds unrealistic.


Why would we decide not to give you an offer today? - ✔✔This one is a bit tricky because it's so direct.

You could attempt to make a joke out of this one and say something like, "If you decided you weren't

hiring at all!" but that may not go well if your interviewer doesn't appreciate humor.


Otherwise, the best response may be to turn this around and say, "I see no reason why you wouldn't - I'm

your best choice because...." and then give your strengths instead.


Tell me why we should hire you in 3 sentences. - ✔✔This is yet another variation of the "strengths"

question. But rather than giving generic strengths, you should highlight any unique experiences you've
