How do you adapt closer questions for junior bankers versus senior bankers?

Ask about daily workflow, first six months, modeling ownership, feedback style, staffing, live-deal responsibilities, and skill development.

• 'Which skill has the steepest learning curve in the first six months?'
• 'How does a junior analyst typically contribute on a live sell-side?'

Ask about sector outlook, client dialogue, platform strategy, mandate origination, and how juniors become trusted over time.

• 'Which DACH sector do you think will surprise people over the next 12 months?'
• 'What makes a junior stand out positively to senior bankers?'

Ask people questions they are well placed to answer. Do not ask an MD about spreadsheet shortcuts or an analyst about firmwide strategy.
