I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
Started FT this summer - assuming I have all the data prepared, it takes me a few hours to crank out a DCF. LBO takes another day or two since I'm just not as comfortable with it yet. All in all, I'd prob need 2-3 days to double triple quadruple check the numbers.
