The deals you need to talk about
The market moves and deals interviewers actually ask about — each one launches a mock interview so you can practice discussing it out loud.
Capital One's acquisition of Discover (EXAMPLE: ~$35B all-stock)
EXAMPLE figures — verify before relying on them. Capital One agreed to acquire Discover in an all-stock deal, pairing a major card issuer with a payments network to challenge Visa and Mastercard.
A megacap tech name leads a sharp single-day market move (EXAMPLE)
EXAMPLE — use the real ticker/move. A single megacap’s earnings surprise drove an outsized one-day index swing, reigniting the market-concentration debate.
A large-cap take-private by a top PE sponsor (EXAMPLE)
EXAMPLE — swap in the real target/sponsor/multiple. A leading sponsor agreed to take a public company private, financed with senior debt plus sponsor equity at a notable entry multiple.
Deal figures shown are illustrative examples — always verify against the source before quoting them.
