Trying to come up with some interview technical test scenarios. Can anyone give me a good ticker and the parameters for a recent modeling test they had with a HF/AM firm? The problem with picking your own is sometimes the company can be a bad fit (have to spend too much time searching for random data and adjusting things).
I don't need the name of the firm that gave you the test, just the following:
- AAPL (insert the ticker they gave you, or if you have a good company to use otherwise)
-4 hours to complete 3 statement model?
-They want it quarterly or annual?
-DCF included or not?
-What information was provided?
-Anything else that is relevant?
Thanks
In no order, most were take a look at x company, where in capital structure would you go long or short. Quarterly model for first year, anywhere from 2-10 days to complete. Note none were in bankruptcy at time of case and all at event driven / special sits HFs.

GREAT THANK YOU! - keep them coming if there are any more traditional long/short equity or MMHF pod group interviews. Are these typically take homes or in office timed tests?
These were all take home, multi-day tests. To be honest probably not great practice for short form in-office tests due to complex capital structure / events occurring that make valuation or projecting difficult.
Advice I was given was to look at some recent take privates in various industries and try to model those out.
My understanding is most tests are longer at least at single managers. TBH would probably fail a sub 4 hour test.
