Hi,
looking for very technical tech IB / PE questions for an incoming interview. Will not be involved in multi-hours case studies, hence, mostly looking for quick fire questions. Already familiar with KPIs and classic asks, looking for more specific stuff you got asked in past processes / you encounter daily at your job. Thanks a lot for your time!i
