Why generic question lists don't work — and what does
Every interview is different. A Goldman Sachs M&A interview asks fundamentally different questions from a Deloitte audit interview, even though both are "graduate scheme interviews." The typical advice — "Google the top 50 interview questions" — wastes preparation time on questions that will never come up for your specific role.
Effective preparation is targeted. Research shows that candidates who focus on 10-15 predicted questions perform significantly better than those who try to prepare for 50 generic ones. The reason is depth vs breadth: having three well-rehearsed stories with quantified outcomes beats having thirty half-formed answers.
Intervyo reads the specific job description and identifies what the interviewer is testing for. If the JD emphasises "client relationship management," you'll see competency questions about stakeholder communication and commercial questions about client industries. If it emphasises "analytical rigour," you'll see technical and case-based predictions. The questions are specific to the role, not the industry.
Each prediction includes a likelihood rating (Very Likely, Likely, Possible), a category tag, and — on paid plans — an explanation of the interviewer's intent and the key points your answer should cover. This turns preparation from guessing into a system: you know what's coming, you know why it's asked, and you know what to include.
Five categories
Every interview question falls into one of five types
Motivational
Why this firm? Why this role? Why now? Tests genuine interest and research.
Competency
STAR format. Leadership, teamwork, problem-solving. Tests behavioural evidence.
Technical
Role-specific knowledge. Accounting, valuation, legal concepts. Tests preparation.
Commercial
Market awareness, deals, trends. Tests whether you engage with the industry.
Curveball
Unexpected questions. Tests how you think under pressure, not what you know.
Sector-specific
What each sector asks — and their favourite curveball
Different sectors test different things. Here's what to expect.
Common questions
- Walk me through a DCF
- Why M&A vs S&T vs ECM?
- Tell me about a deal you've followed
- What makes a good pitch deck?
- Walk me through an LBO
Watch out: Curveball: "If you had £1m to invest right now, where would you put it and why?" — tests commercial instinct, not textbook knowledge.
