Default Re: On-site corporate finance interview

OP, aside from all the standard prep stuff...

If you've been playing poker for 3 years, be prepared to describe that experience professionally, including metrics: hand play rates, win rates, capital invested, return on capital and time invested. Remember that lots of the great unwashed know nothing about our world, many probably think making money playing the game can't be done. Go into mathematical detail.

If you can impress them with careful reasoning over approaching your poker playing as a conscious professional choice, you'll be a standout and will give yourself an excellent chance.

"Finance" covers a lot of ground. Is it cash management? Control (p&l)? Capital markets?
