Top 1 - 7: 为什么选择银行？
01. I can see you’re entrepreneurial, but you want to work in banking. Why is that?
02. What attracts you to a career in banking?
03. What kind of lifestyle do you expect to have in banking?
04. Why have you chosen banking over consulting?
05. Do you know what you’re letting yourself in for?
06. What would you be doing if you weren’t in finance?
07. Do you know about the investment banking lifestyle? Why don’t you have a problem with it?
扣肉指南：如果你只是entry-level candidate，面试官们希望你知道你即将面临的工作是干嘛的，你需要做什么。当你回答“为什么选择银行”这个问题时，您需要具有原创性和特定性。
你可以谈论一些银行家们是如何启发与影响你的，特别是那些在你正在面试的公司工作的那类银行家们，也可以谈谈你对行业的热情。例如，解释下为什么你认为银行业比咨询更有价值。
Top 8 - 17: 为什么选择我们银行？
08. What are some of the most significant deals our bank has completed in the last 12 months?
09. What is our current stock price?
10. What do you think this bank’s biggest regulatory threats are at the moment?
11. What do you see as the strengths and weaknesses of this business/division?
12. What differentiates our firm?
13. Who’s our major competitor? How do we measure up? What are the risks and opportunities we face?
14. Tell me everything you know about our business model.
15. Which area of our business is strongest?
16. Who’s our CEO?
17. What’s the most important thing affecting this bank now?
扣肉指南：不要只是简单地在公共领域（对，说的就是不要只知道度娘谷歌）查找你面试企业的信息，而是要确保你有深入研究过该公司的文化背景与业务资源。
Recruitment advisors通常建议：你可以通过与现有的员工交谈，来获取公司一些具体的内部信息，通常这些信息你都无法快速从公共渠道获取，在面试时也能体现你的认真的态度。
这个问题中，真正需要的是：解释你为什么认为你申请的银行不同于其他的银行，你需要研究你正在面试的那个银行，你的答案需非常具体，并找到一些让你在银行面试能够脱颖而出的东西。
Eg: In the case of Nomura, for example, you might say you want to work for a bank with strong Asian connections so that you have exposure to the Asian market.
Top 18 - 20: 为什么你想要这份工作
18. What do you think this position requires, and how well do you match those requirements?
19. Why should we hire you?
20. What do you think this job entails?
扣肉指南：你需要关注你可以为这份工作带来什么，而不是专注于为什么你想要这份工作。具体来说，你以前做过什么，有利于你在未来的这份工作中表现良好吗？你需要向面试官证实你说的内容，所以面试前要对工作的要求进行详细的了解，才能正确回应。
Top 21 -26: 头脑风暴问题
21. How many pigs are there in China?
22. A snail climbs a 10 foot pole. It climbs three feet every day and sleeps at night. While sleeping, it slides down by one foot. When does it reach the top?
You might think the snail climbs a net of two feet a day and so reaches the top of the 10 foot pole at the end of five days. This is wrong. On the morning of day five, the snail starts out at the eight foot mark after sliding down from the nine foot mark overnight. It reaches the top of the pole two thirds of the way through the fifth day and then stops, because there’s nowhere else to go.
23. You have eight red socks and 11 blue socks in a drawer. They are identical but for the colour. You must select your socks in the dark. How many socks, at a minimum, must you take out of your sock drawer before you have a matching pair?
The answer is three. Two socks can be different, but the third sock must always match one of the first two.
24. A lily pad doubles in size every minute, it takes one hour for the lily pad to cover an entire pond. How long did it take for the lily pad to cover only a quarter of the pond?
The answer is 58 minutes.
25. How do you find the heaviest ball from a collection of eight balls with the fewest number of weighing sessions?
The answer is two weighings.
26. We have a cup of water and you drink a half of it. I drink the half of what’s left. Then you drink the half of that. The process continues until the water has gone. How much more water do you drink than me?
扣肉指南：前高盛（Goldman Sachs）和Perella Weinberg的合伙人Mark Hatz 表示：这些头脑风暴问题没有标答，银行希望听到的是你的思维过程，并看到您有足够的灵活性和大概的方案去尝试解决这些问题。（头脑风暴问题小编们会在假期推出解题详解，敬请关注）
