What to expect from Houlihan Lokey Restructuring Interview - Analyst

Hey everyone,

Just passed a first round for Houlihan Restructuring for a Full Time Analyst Position. Any tips on what to expect from future rounds? I read something about a case study and exam.

Also been reading some DCM primers from Fitch and KeyBanc + Houlihan Case Study and Breaking Into Wall Street Restructuring Questions.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Learn capital structure, know about why HL, brainteasers, good understanding of valuation and be ready to discuss your resume to a great extent.

 

Know debt and bond concepts and questions down solid. It's one of the most technical banks in LA (if not the most technical) for a reason.

It's interesting that they are still recruiting this late into the season as almost all LA banks are finished so they must finishing up their last spot or two.
