Lunch with investment banker I have the opportunity to meet with an executive at a large investment bank in New York (through my university, set up as a q and a session designed to allow student to ask questions) and I am drawing a blank with regards to what questions I should ask. I am fearful that what I ask will be something he/she thinks I should already know. For example, I wanted to ask how an investment bank determines the cost of capital when valuing a company. Would this be appropriate?

Any suggestions on the types of questions I should be asking?
