About this resource

Behavioural questions account for 30–50% of most IB and PE interviews — and they're the area where candidates prepare the least. This guide covers 50+ questions grouped by theme: your story (tell me about yourself, why IB, why this firm), leadership and initiative, teamwork and collaboration, pressure and resilience, commercial awareness, and ethics. Each question includes what the interviewer is really testing, how to structure your answer, and a model STAR response. Enriched with insider context on what the job actually looks like — real hours data, the "pick two" lifestyle system, and how to answer "Why IB?" authentically rather than naively.
