Greenhill Valuation Interview Drill: 30 Minutes

Use this free spoken-practice plan before a Greenhill investment banking interview. It is a practice structure, not a prediction of what any interviewer will ask.

The drill

  1. 5 minutes - method selection. Choose a company and rank the valuation methods that fit it. Explain why the ranking changes by sector and business model.
  2. 7 minutes - trading comparables. Build a spoken peer set. Defend each inclusion, choose the relevant multiples, and explain one source of dispersion.
  3. 6 minutes - precedent transactions. Explain how control, synergies, timing, and market conditions can change the range relative to trading comparables.
  4. 6 minutes - DCF judgment. Name the operating assumptions that matter most, then explain how discount rate and terminal value affect the result.
  5. 6 minutes - repeat. Give the valuation answer again in 90 seconds with a clear range, preferred method, and one caveat.
