IB Lateral Case Study: What to prepare

Hello everyone,

I just completed the first segment of the technical interview portion for a lateral IB position and that was an LBO modeling (quite long since I was asked to project 3 statements and then perform LBO).

The second segment is a case study for about 2-3 hours. What should I expect in terms of preparation? Should I expect a DCF? If so, I do not think it will not take 2-3 hours, but I could be wrong. Perhaps they may want me to read a management presentation and then answer some questions?

I am quite nervous so any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, all!
