Question

How do you respond to: tell me about a conflict with a senior banker during an internship?

Answer

Use a low-drama example: unclear expectations, style mismatch, or prioritization under deadline. Emphasize that you clarified, adapted to the senior's preferences, and improved output quality. Never make the senior look bad. If you truly had no conflict, describe a challenging feedback moment instead.
