Coverage Banker Missing M&A Modeling Reps at a Top BB - PE Deal Talk.

At a non JPM/MS/GS bank, top group. In a coverage group but modeling is all sourced to m&a.

In associate interviews how are you expected to walk through the rationale of building the model when you can theoretically only speak to the high level components as you never built it? Even if you lie, cant they dig deep enough to the point where they see you haven’t built it? Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks.
