Be honest
Does this sound like you?
- You've read the guides, but you've never said a DCF walk-through out loud under pressure.
- When you practise, nobody asks “why?”, so the first follow-up in a real interview knocks you off.
- You know the answer in your head, but your English makes it sound average.
- A coach is too expensive, and your friends don't know what a banker would ask.
Then your first real interview is also your first real practice. That's how offers are lost.
The fix
Do the interview before the interview. As many times as you need.
Pick your interview
IB, Big Four or corporate finance. Spoken over video call or written in a chat, 10 to 30 minutes. Upload your CV.
Get grilled
Your interviewer speaks to you and asks questions built around your CV. Vague answer? They push back. Wrong number? They catch it. Just like a real banker.

Why I built this
“I'm a finance student going through IB and Big Four recruiting in Europe myself. I couldn't find a way to practise real interviews out loud, in the language of the job, with honest feedback, without paying for a coach. So I built the tool I wanted.”
The founder of InterviewDesk

Request a group licenceStill not sure?
Is it really free?
Yes. Your first full mock interview, with the complete scorecard, is 100% free. No card, no trial that auto-charges you. You only pay if you want more interviews.
Isn't this just ChatGPT?
No. ChatGPT answers questions; InterviewDesk interviews you. It runs a structured interview from a finance question bank, pushes back with follow-ups when your answer is weak, scores you against a consistent banker-style rubric and tracks your progress.
Is the interview spoken or written?
Both, you choose. In the spoken interview you talk to your interviewer over a video call: they ask the questions out loud and you answer by speaking, then review the transcribed text before sending it. In the written interview you answer in a chat at your own pace, and you are expected to write more polished answers.
Are my voice or camera recorded?
No recordings are kept. Your voice is transcribed on the fly by our AI provider and only the text of your answers is stored, to build your scorecard. The camera is optional and the image never leaves your device.
Which roles does it cover?
Investment banking (Spring Week, Summer and Off-cycle), private equity, equity research, sales & trading, asset management, corporate finance, Big Four Deals and audit, and strategy consulting. For internships, graduate roles or experienced hires, across Europe.
Which languages can I interview in?
English, Spanish, French, German and Italian, each with a local interviewer (London, Madrid, Paris, Frankfurt, Milan), voice, model answers and language corrections in that language. Your feedback comes in the language of this website.
Is it useful if I'm a native speaker?
Yes. The feedback on technical and motivation questions works for everyone. The language layer is a bonus: it's the difference between sounding fine and sounding sharp.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Pro is monthly, cancel whenever you want. The Season Pass is paid once with no auto-renewal.
Can my finance society or university get access?
Yes. Group licences for societies, master's programmes and careers services. Email us from the schools section.
Your interview is coming either way.
The only question is whether you'll have practised it. Takes 2 minutes to start.
