PE from Industry Group?

I'm an analyst in an industry group, and have not gotten much modeling experience. A lot putting together information from research, doing company profiles, etc, which is fine except I'm worried that I won't be well equipped for PE interviews when they come early next year and ask for LBO or merger models. Anyone also in this situation? Advice? thanks.

If you have free time, you

If you have free time, you can model some things out on your own. I would reach out to friends in other groups or colleagues in your own group and ask them to give you a model to do. When I felt like I wasn't getting enough modeling experience I asked a VP from another group if he could help, and I modeled something out for him and walked him through it. I think whats more important than the mechanical process of modeling is that you understand what the drivers are in the model and that you make logical assumptions.
