Know the in's and out's of the 4 pigs you audited back in the day. The accounting knowledge will come in handy when speaking as to your transferrable skills.
I think my weaknesses will show in technical questions. Any ideas on specific questions or cases they may ask?
First round should be all behavior questions though right?

PM I have got access to some RX interview questions
Should understand differences in tranches of debt and understand the importance of liquidity in a company under distress. Could pm me perhaps I can help more
Make sure you understand how to break down an entire pig, from head to hooves. Would understand the differences between bacon, Canadian bacon and Iberica ham. Finally, make sure you have a bovine joke or two in your back pocket.
God, one fucking typo and now a whole thread is filled to the brim with useless, stupid jokes? If you don’t know the answer to OP’s question, then leave it be until someone who does comes along with an answer. None of you are funny.

I found this thread, OP. You can reach out to the OP there and ask about their experience, maybe they’d be receptive. If you get an answer, please do consider bumping this thread to add a resource for others in the future.
Hey guy, why are you such a pig fucker
Feel free to reach out to me as I have RX specific interview guides
What’s the salary / bonus like at A&M rx as an analyst / associate?
You should understand the mechanics of a 13-week cash flow forecast and how to prepare/review one. You should be generally familiar with the various types of debt and describe some differences between what a 1st and 2nd lien senior secured creditor is. You should know how the mix between cash and PIK interest impacts the debt balance over time. Probably not a bad idea to review what types of recommendations you would make to preserve liquidity for a distress company (RIF, stretching AP, accelerating AR, identifying contribution margins by SKU to see where a business should discontinue certain products, know what a borrowing base is with asset-based lines of credit and some of the risks/benefits companies have with obtaining an ABL facility). This list could really go on....
Below are the most current comps for Rx at A&M.
I thought A&M was more operational RX though and not a true financial RX shop like PJT/HL etc
From what I know, pay is similar across U.S. locations. An additional point to add is there will be a modeling test, assuming you pass the initial rounds.
