Investment Banking Career Coaching by Adam Fishman
Are you aiming for a career in Investment Banking, or are you currently navigating the high-stakes final rounds?
The Candidates Who Get the Offer Know Exactly What to Ask.
In interviews, your edge rarely comes from rehearsed answers alone. The candidates who stand out ask insightful, strategic questions that demonstrate they already think like long-term contributors.
I will coach you on the specific, high-level questions to ask—the ones that signal credibility, commercial awareness, and leadership potential.
Of course, we will also prepare for behavioral and financial interview questions. But the real advantage comes from how you engage the interviewer and what YOU ask.
As the former Chief Operating Officer of RBC’s U.S. Investment Bank, I bring more than 20 years of insider experience helping candidates understand how top banks actually evaluate talent.
