Discussing Public Deal Experience in Buy-side Interviews
Hi All,
I have a sell-side deal that I name-dropped on my resume because it has been publicly announced and my firm has been publicly associated with the deal. Although I didn't work on the M&A model, I did a floor valuation on the company using an LBO. I was curious on a few things when discussing deal experience for buy-side interviews:
How much will I be expected to disclose with regards to the numbers in the model? Although the transaction value was publicly announced, the model I worked on included non-public information on projections (growth & margin assumptions), hypothetical scenarios on treatment of NCI, etc. so I don't think I would be allowed to talk about what EBITDA figure was used in the exit year
Will I be asked about technical aspects on things I didn't work on like the M&A or DCF model?
What kinda of questions should I expect on deal experience in general? I know they'll ask about the deal rationale, if i thought the deal made sense, risks, how I view the company as an LBO fit, but anything else I should be prepared for?
How far back do they usual go on deal experience? I have some very small private deals that I worked on in internships 2 yrs back, is it likely I'll still get heavily questioned on them or will the deal experience questions focus more on my most recent higher profile deals?
Thank you
