BB Syndication Interview

Hi guys, I have an interview with a BB Syndicated Loan team coming up for a SA position.

Would truly appreciate it if any of oyu could shed some light on what kind of questions to expect, what they do, etc..
Thanks a ton!

You'll most likely be dealing with loan comps and trading statistics of whatever kind of loans you're syndicating. Syndications is more of a sales oriented job, lots of breadth, minimal depth. I'd probably just try to develop a story of why you like the markets, and what draws you to the debt side of things. Whether it's investment grade or non-investment grade loans, have a reason why you're interested in either, e.g. the large corporate type of investment grade entities (which are pretty plain vanilla), or the higher yielding non-investment grade entities (more interesting in my opinion).

 

Why do you say non-investment grade is more interesting? Can you elaborate a little more? Thank you!
