In an interview, I got asked which LMM/MM PE bidders we went to on a sale that hadn't closed yet.
I apologised and said I wasn't confident sharing the information was the done thing.
Was this the right move in an interview, would this be ok to disclose if the deal had closed?
Obviously I didnt mention the sell side TargetCo name.
Appreciate any advice.
