Asset Finance - Advice/Thoughts On The Role

Interviewing for an Asset Finance role at a BB and would love to hear from people in the space.

Specifically curious about: 
1. Day-to-day responsibilities at the Associate level 
2. Most valued technical skills (modeling, credit, structuring?) 
3. How the practice differs across sectors (aviation, infrastructure, equipment) 
4. What you wish you knew going in
5. What i could possible be tested on in the interview
6. Sectoral changes that you as an insider have noticed

Drop a comment or feel free to DM — any perspective is appreciated!
