Private Credit & Financing

Hi Folks, I'll be starting as a Private Credit & Financing Analyst at a BB in a couple of weeks. I have a year of experience in Corporate Credit at a National Bank post grad. While I do have experience in credit memo preparation, our forecasting & analysis is still quite basic (As compared to what I've seen my IB mates do on a day to day basis). All of my interview rounds for this role didn't really involve modelling/LBOs etc. It mainly revolved around how I view an investment, the company & its industry risks. Spoke to a few peers working in the company and all of them said the role doesn't really involve a lot of modelling, they usually prepare one pagers with quite a short analysis. 

Would be really grateful if anyone working in similar profiles could give some suggestions on the skillsets I probably should brush up before joining the role.
