30 Minute LBO Test, what to expect?
End of this week I have a 30 minute blank template modeling test and was wondering what should I expect?
I already figured in for the entry valuation/multiples, debt pricing assumptions, operating model and free cash flow projection, then a debt schedule (2-3 tranches), exit analysis.
It's my first interview/modeling test so I am curious if anyone has tips of what else I should expect? or will it be even more high level then that due to the time frame
It may be shorter / simpler than that but I think exactly what you outlined is the bare minimum that I would be ready for, just in case.
Any update on what it was? Have a similar situation coming up
30 minutes is quick. You sure it’s going to be blank?
Do basic lbo and calcs.
My guess is something like a paper LBO but a bit more building out of debt schedule and income statement. Likely will tell you a lot of the assumptions so it’s more just seeing if you understand what an LBO model is. 30 minutes is not a lot of time, any real modeling test will be at least 1hr (even then it will still be just seeing if you know how to use excel and build a simple model).
