First, there were two initial interviews covering behavioral and technical topics. You could be asked how to value a company, a DCF walkthrough, why project finance, your industry knowledge, and perceived risks in the field. Importantly, they wanted you to ask engaging follow-up questions. The final round was with the Head of VP Project Finance. This interview focused on how to value a project, including the steps and risks. The advice was to ask good questions, as you're meeting the top person.
