I have an awesome opportunity to lateral into an analyst role in ABF/ABS at a BB, but I'm worried that I'll face more technical (and ABS specific) questions than other, likely younger, candidates. I really don't want to blow this. I've been practicing modeling and the question guides for a while, but I'd really like to review some concepts that are more ABF/ABS specific.
Can anyone provide some insight?
