When answering this question, focus on a specific deal where you played a crucial role. Start by briefly describing the deal, including the companies involved and the financial objectives. Then, detail your specific responsibilities and contributions. Highlight any challenges you faced and how you overcame them, as well as the successful outcome of the deal. Quantify the results if possible (e.g., percentage increase in company value, amount of capital raised). This demonstrates your hands-on experience and ability to deliver results in high-stakes situations.
Example:
"In my previous role at XYZ Bank, I worked on a $500 million acquisition deal between Company A and Company B. My primary responsibility was to conduct the financial due diligence and valuation analysis. I identified several key synergies that were crucial for the deal's success. Despite facing tight deadlines and complex regulatory requirements, I coordinated with various teams to ensure all aspects were thoroughly reviewed. The deal was successfully closed within three months, resulting in a 20% increase in Company A's market value."
