Stifel investment banking interview guide
No question in Superday Room's bank is tagged with Stifel yet, so this page has no count or sample questions. It's a guide: what Stifel does, when it recruits for summer 2028, what candidates report from other middle-market banks, and how to prepare.
What does Stifel's investment bank do?
It advises entrepreneurs, family-owned businesses, private equity groups and public and private companies in North America, Europe, Asia, Israel and Latin America, with more than 600 investment banking professionals (Stifel, checked October 30, 2026).
What have candidates reported from Stifel interviews?
None so far. Questions are counted for a firm only when a candidate tagged it with that firm, and no candidate has tagged one with Stifel. When reports come in, the count appears here. Until then, the pattern at other middle-market banks is the better guide.
What do candidates report from other middle-market banks?
Across the 231 questions candidates reported at the 14 firms with pages here that Extern groups as middle-market banks, 9% were behavioral. The technical questions were led by valuation (39), accounting (34) and LBOs (30). These are candidates' reports, counted November 1, 2026; a question reported at two of these firms counts once.
When does Stifel recruit?
Extern expects summer 2028 applications to open in October to November 2026, a projection from the previous cycle (Extern, as of October 9, 2026). The full 2026–27 timeline →

Most banks start with a first round, often a recorded video interview, before the superday: see HireVue interviews and what a superday is.
Superday Room isn't affiliated with Stifel or any bank. Questions are counted for a firm only when candidates reported them from its interviews; Stifel hasn't reviewed or confirmed them. Firm names are used only to say where questions were reported.
