Lender Advisory Services?
I have an interview coming up this week with a consulting firm for a role in a group that works primarily with lenders and financial institutions, providing services around things like collateral analysis/assessment, evaluating borrowers and their financial performance, and supporting lenders in assessing credit risk and lending capacity.
Curious if anyone here works in a similar group and could shed some light on what the work is actually like.
I’m coming from Big 4 and would especially like to understand:
* What does the day-to-day work actually look like?
* How much of the work is collateral/field-exam focused vs. financial/credit analysis?
* What types of engagements do you typically work on?
* How much interaction do you have with lenders, sponsors, and management?
* What are the hours and travel like?
* How repetitive vs. analytical/varied is the work?
* What should someone coming from Big 4 be prepared for in the interview?
Would appreciate any insight from people in this type of practice or something comparable. Feel free to DM if you’d rather not post publicly.
