Bain Capital Credit case study interview?

Hello dear monkeys,

I have an interview for Bain Capital Credit SA in London. It is a first-round interview, however, it is not like the average first-round interview. It consists of two 30 minute case studies, similar to the consulting case studies, but from an investing point of view.

I have done some research and I came to the conclusion that I have to go through consulting guides, etc. to get familiar with the frameworks and the type of questions.

I would appreciate it if any of you could give me some advice on how to prepare it, or if any of you have gone through their process, it would be nice to know the type of questions, the level, etc.

Hi Prospect in IB-M&A, whoops, looks like nobody chimed in here.... maybe one of these discussions below is relevant:

More suggestions...

If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...

Just to clarify, is this for SA/Summer 2020 or February 2020 - they posted two jobs

From my XP, it would be a case about market driver/understading market dynamica; and a profit/cost case understanding the major component. Would take a look on what kind of frameworks are used and practice the approach on how to tackle this. Obvisouly, a consulting mock interview would helped.
