Interviewed there for an OC internship - was quite technical. They asked about debt schedules and different kinds of repayment structures (e.g. PIK interest, etc). There is also a modeling test where you have to model an RCF but I didn't reach that stage

 

Yeah, I’d stay away especially from a culture point of view. It’s really sweaty (tbf can’t attest to how nice the people are / haven’t interviewed there).
Also, think twice about whether you want to work in Dubai or move there later on in your career. Money doesn’t justify the move in the analyst / early assoc years.

 

VPs / Directors have absolutely zero respect for WLB with juniors finishing at 3-4am being the norm (with an expected start time of 9am everyday regardless) + substantial work every weekend, proceed with caution...
