Hey man, congrats on the interview. There are some threads about how to prepare for a Credit Interview so recommend using Google and the search function on the site.
I would recommend you going to the Ares and Oaktree websites and look for their white papers or primers and reading through them.
The best way to prep for a Credit interview especially if this is Direct Lending, is asking yourself the question: Should I give a loan to x company? And thinking about all the things you would need to look at and analyze to say "yes because of xyz." or "No, because of xyz".
Great, extremely generic response
Yes, practice case studies. I have a few case studies so anyone interested PM me (Ares, Oaktree, BX GSO)
You are an idiot for sharing them
They aren't free
I got wrecked at oak trees technical questions for FP&A.
