Commercial Banking Interview Questions

[@whatwouldbatmando4130]

I can't believe how thorough this is. Incredible, 4 years of undergrad finance and nowhere near as thorough as this 24 minute video

[@MrMikeshort]

As someone who is making the transition from consumer lending to commercial lending, I found this video priceless. Thank you for taking the time to put this together. I can't wait to view your other videos. I might just be your new biggest fan.

[@financekid3163]

Thanks so much Mike. It takes a lot of work to put them together but when I hear such positive feedback, its all worth it! Good luck with your transition. Let me know if you have any other video ideas related to commercial banking.

[@chiutungching]

I am a fresh graduate and trying to land an offer from a commercial bank. This is really helpful and really appreciate for your effort on putting all these valuable information together.

[@elizabethren7848]

[@financekid3163]

Thanks for watching!

[@brandonfrancis309]

This is amazing. Thank you so much!

[@financekid3163]

No worries, good luck!

[@utopia8177]

It’s quite funny how he knows those of us going into commercial banking likely got rejected by IB, I was hoping to enter JPM IB but was offer corporate client banking specialized industries , a hybrid role of IB and Commercial Corporate banking JPM created not too long ago, ehh ill take it

[@financekid3163]

Always remember IB is not the only path to success, CB is an excellent career path and can be more rewarding for certain personalities. Good luck!

[@Claire-qd6rv]

So freaking helpful this video reminds me of the slides in the lecture during collage....very theoretical but helpful for an interview wish me luck .If I could get ur ins that will be great lol still have some questions ..

[@galaticoera7022]

Hey, in your opinion what is the quickest route to becoming a relationship manager? 1.) Getting a job as an assistant relationship manager and then becoming an RM 2.) Getting on a 2 year commercial banking graduate scheme, then securing an RM role at the end of the scheme Sorry for the tough question lol

[@judyl.7811]

What does it take to be a successful commercial banker? 14:00 RM to internal and external stakeholders. understanding clients business. expert in structuring credit agreements (best covenant), credit skills, problem solving skills. Name 3 important credit ratios and why? 15:10 this is a common question and we have 4 core categories: liquidity ratios: turning assets to cash leverage ratios: reliance on debt financing profitability ratios: ability to generate profits efficiency ratios: how company manages its assets what type of credit ratios 15:50 so maybe provide one in each category. liquidity: current ratio, quick ratio. leverage: debt to equity, interest coverage ratio, debt to EBITDA (define the loan size, this is market confidence indicator) profit: gross profit margin, ROA, ROE. efficiency: projecting the NWC and DCF, such as DSO, DIH, inventory turns, DPO 20:25 How are 3 financial statement linked? following the net income account. start with income statement, move to cash flow statement, then to balance sheet. net income is in the retained earnings in the balance sheet.

[@sammymarcus6681]

Amazing video! Are the slides available anywhere for print?

[@AsongayiNchindia]

i whant to do commercial pleas tell me what todo

[@RyanInCanada]

the video is very well detailed and it explains how to answer most of the question. I was lucky to have a job interview with commercial banking despite not have similar background and experience. Can you tell more about the behavioural questions? I mean I have seen lots of people not having any job experience but they still manage to get into CB or IB. For fresh graduates how do we make ourselves outstanding while not having job experience.

[@financekid3163]

Thank you for the kind words, I am glad it was helpful! The behavioral questions I refer to are basic ones found in any interview... strengths/weaknesses, working on a team, making a mistake and owning up to it, etc. Best thing to do is look up online common behavioral questions in finance, there are many sources online. Keep in mind the key skills of the role and determine what the interviewer would ask to find out if you have these skills. The second question is the million dollar question in recruiting. How to stand out..... its mostly luck and the strength of your existing social, school, and personal networks. Fundamentally, focus on skills because over the long run, those are rewarded more. Good luck!

[@yomomomama3964]

Hey, thanks a bunch! How were you able to locate these pieces of information?

[@jordanvanthiel8508]

Great video! I have a case interview tomorrow, will let you know how it goes.

[@goodie006]

how did it go?

[@RahulSingh-el3xv]

@@goodie006 didn't go well I think, that's why no response

[@dani8087]

Thank you so much

[@bullionnovice1688]

Good video! You could also discuss loan work outs/restructuring roles within commercial lending in future videos.

[@shahbazvirk5223]

Thank you so much!

[@financekid3163]

For the last question on how the three financial statements are linked, consider watching my other video to learn more and practice before your interview. I walk through how a $10 depreciation charge impacts all three financial statments. Click below to watch the video; kzbin.info/www/bejne/omHXf2mwj7WGgqs

[@tariqbeach5970]

how would you suggest attacking an internship in commercial banking (commercial credit more specifically)

[@TheChelseaFan119]

saviour!

[@aseruomapaulufuoma.8969]

It the bank sector,as a whole ,not one person can analyse correctly..like to surport with your banks finances..pals.

[@Mav0585]

Is CB a better path than IB, for an experienced hire (military and consulting) and a family? From a work/life balance and career options perspective?

[@robertjames3701]

Generally speaking, yes. Work-life balance is leaps and bounds ahead 40-60 (maybe 70) hrs a week for Relationship Managers and comparable for underwriters…excluding the occasional fire drill. Comp and exit opps are far better on the i banking side, but in middle market and large corporate you can make VERY good money.
