Credit Analyst Interview - Ares Management

Hi all,

I have an upcoming interview with Ares Management for their summer credit analyst position. In the email, they mentioned it would be mostly technical. I am currently prepping, and I have studied basic accounting / analysis of financial statements, bond valuation, CDS, DSCR, z-spreads, credit research vs equity research, and yield curves.

Do you have any insight into what other information I should look into? Or whether some of the topics listed above are not relevant?

Also, could anyone shine some light on the Ares Management hiring process?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
