Credit interview at Bain Capital for SA ‘23 in 5 days… How do I prep?

Apparently there’s gonna be a case interview with a credit focus.

I know absolutely nothing about casing or credit investing, and I would appreciate any insight on how to prepare from scratch in the next 5 days, including resources to look into and a study timeline to set for myself, as well as any info on the firm’s credit arm (culture, hours, comp, etc.)

Thanks!
