Interview
Began with an initial interview in Greenwich followed by a case study a few weeks later. Interviews were with the entire credit team including senior management
Interview Questions
Initial interview focused on existing deal experience. Asked for how I would evaluate my current deal experience as an investor. Also asked about any existing investment ideas (equity or debt).

Second round was a case study.
Questions were much more business and operationally focused than expected. Questions included, what do you think of this business? Does this business need to exist?

What assumptions would you assume in a liquidation analysis? Can you do a liquidation analysis back of the envelope?
