Are these guides free?

Yes, all of them, and you do not need an account. They sample the same bank the platform runs on. What the platform adds is the marking, the voice mocks and a score.

How many questions are there in total?

5,166 interview questions, every one of them in English and Spanish, plus 10,000 guided modeling cases and 1,500 deal simulations inside the platform.

Where do the answers come from?

They are written to a hiring bar from the Deskcraft bank, the same answers the grader marks against, so what you read here is what the platform expects you to say.

Should I prepare in English or in Spanish?

In whichever language the process runs in. Every guide exists in both, and so does the whole platform, including the voice mocks.

How to use these guides

01Start with the complete prep guide above, so you can see the whole process before drilling any part of it.
02Pick the block you are weakest in and read its guides end to end. Every answer is written the way you would say it, not the way a textbook defines it.
03Then practise out loud. Reading a model answer and delivering it under pressure are different skills, and only the second one is tested.

Accounting10

Every interview starts here. The three statements, how they link, working capital and deferred taxes. Get this wrong and the conversation ends before valuation.

Valuation8

DCF, trading comps and precedent transactions, and knowing when each one lies. Interviewers push on WACC, terminal value and the bridge to equity value.

M&A2

Accretion and dilution, purchase accounting, synergies, and why a deal that looks cheap can still destroy earnings per share.

LBO & Private Equity4

The paper LBO against the clock, returns, debt paydown and where the value actually comes from. The core of any private equity process.

Capital Markets3

ECM, DCM and what a markets desk asks: issuance, pricing, rates, and what moved this week.

Restructuring1

Chapter 11, the fulcrum security, liability management and valuing a company that cannot pay. The hardest technical set in banking.

Restructuring Interview Questions (RX)

Behavioral & Fit11

Why banking, why this bank, your CV, a deal you followed. These decide more offers than the technicals do, and they are the least practised.

Brain Teasers1

Mental maths, probability and market sizing. Not about landing the answer: about whether you think out loud under pressure.
