Corporate Banking Financial Sponsor lending Interview coming up!

Hi there!

I was looking into interviewing for an Corporate Banking Analyst position on the Financial Sponsors team at a regional bank in NYC. They provide lending for lower middle market acquisitions and cover PE firms with $500mm AUM.

If anyone works in the space and could shed some light, It would be greatly appreciated!!!

• Does anyone know what to highlight in the interview?
• What type of specific credit analysis that I should know?
• Should I know how to do an LBO/MBO model? Any particular part of it?
• What type of skills are mandatory?
• What the credit approval memorandums consist of?
• What justifies a sound lending issuance?
• What the due diligence process entails?

Thanks in advance to the brave souls who actually spread their knowledge on WSO.

Ciao!!
