Valuation Interview Questions
DCF, comps, multiples, terminal value, and how to triangulate a defensible price range. The valuation questions OFFERGOBLIN sees across bulge bracket, elite boutique, and middle-market interviews.
Valuation is the centerpiece of every banking technical round. "Walk me through a DCF" and "What multiples do you use?" are the entry-level versions. The harder versions — when does WACC break, why is terminal value 70 percent of enterprise value, why is EV/EBITDA the default versus EV/Revenue — separate strong candidates from weak ones.
OFFERGOBLIN's valuation category covers DCF construction, free cash flow, WACC components, CAPM, terminal value methodology, trading comps, transaction comps, and every major multiple. Questions are sourced from candidate-reported interviews at firms across the street.
Free tier: 7 questions/day. Accelerated: 80/day with bank & round filters, $40/month.
