1st round telelphone interview

Hi guys,

I've got a 1st round call with CS coming up in London. Does anyone know if they ask any technicals in first round? - Call is scheduled for 30 mins but usually these 1st round calls end in like 15 mins for me lol.

Historical CS technicals:

- Walkthrough a DCF, conceptually what is WACC, discount rate, calculate CAPM

- Pros and cons of a DCF beyond just the "sensitive to assumptions" answer

- If the EBITDA multiple grows at 20% from Year 1 to year 2, assuming stable TEV/Revenue- how does the EBITDA margin change

- Comparing Revenue multiples depending if TEV is constant 

- Walk through an LBO high-level

 

Thanks for the insight, could you please explain questions 3 & 4 or give the answers ?
