Behavioral Questions: Make sure you have your 5-10 stories polished for any behavioral question. These should cover various competencies and experiences that showcase your skills and fit for the role.
Resume Walkthrough: Be ready to discuss every detail on your resume. You should be able to explain your experiences, the skills you've gained, and how they're relevant to the role you're interviewing for.
Technical Questions: Since you've got the 400 questions down and can do a paper LBO, you're in good shape. However, don't just memorize; understand the concepts deeply.
Credit and Structured Products: You've got the basics, but make sure you can discuss current trends in the market, recent deals, and how economic factors affect credit markets.
DCF and Financial Modeling: Be comfortable with DCF valuations and financial modeling. You might want to brush up on your Excel skills too, as they're crucial for financial analysis.
Case Studies: Be prepared for case studies that may require you to analyze a company's financial health or the viability of a credit investment.
Follow-up: This is crucial. Always send a thank-you note after your interviews. It shows professionalism and keeps you top of mind.
Remember, it's not just about knowing the answers; it's about demonstrating your thought process and analytical skills. Good luck, and don't forget to enjoy the ride – after all, even us monkeys know that the journey is half the fun!
