How did you answer each of these questions (please be specific)?:
Answered the normal finance technicals using everything from the Vaulty guides etc. There is an RBC oil and gas guide that I used to prep for the Oil and Gas questions.
1. Explain high level, and they will ask more questions if you didn't really know. But they dont expect a super big answer.
2. I said the oil field would trade with a higher multiple because it would have a higher $/sqft etc
3. Check their website you can find their transactions. Read up on them elsewhere
4. Stock pitch. Just nail it.
5. Financial size, geography, product (oil or gas or mix)
6. Unexpected but recalled from previous reading
7. Have more than one reason why the company did a particular acquisition
