Everything to prepare for a MUFG interview: why the firm, and the questions candidates there reported being asked.
From the inside
Reasons that work in interviews
4 reasons for MUFG
Anchor the answer to the Toronto or Calgary office rather than the global brand. “Why Goldman” answered with global league tables is the single most common failure in this category.
One of the largest balance sheets in the world behind a small Canadian team, so lending-led mandates are large relative to headcount.
Project finance is a genuine strength, relevant to Canadian infrastructure and energy transition assets.
Japanese corporate relationships give the Canadian business a cross-border angle other banks cannot replicate.
Lean team means exposure to deal structure rather than process management.
Firm-specific questions
Why MUFG over Goldman Sachs or J.P. Morgan?
Anchor your answer in what sets it apart: japanese megabank in canada since 1954; wholesale lending, project finance and capital markets for canadian corporates; top project finance bank in the americas (pfi league tables).
Walk me through a recent deal MUFG worked on.
For example Brookfield Finance Inc. US$600 million 5.650% senior notes due 2031 (guaranteed by Brookfield Corporation) (joint book-running manager, Sep 21, 2026). Cover the rationale, valuation and what the firm did.
