Perhaps because I’m in an m&a group but by the end of my first I could build out a dcf/lbo/merger model from scratch and all my peers as well.
Granted formatting could use some help and its not the most complex model but that isnt too hard after 1 year of working
Like without any resources or refresher? That's a little exaggerating because I'm an Associate and there's no way I could build any of those three without looking at templates. I get the overall goals and things we're trying to accomplish with them but not the nitty gritty.
Understand a model built from scratch isn’t going to be perfect but if you did any sort of buy-side recruiting building an 3-hr LBO you can build most of it from scratch although of course well need tweaking once its done/being built.
Will admit merger models its nice to have prior templates/resources and not as straightforward (for myself) than LBOs/dcfs
Everything.
