KPS Recruitment

Have the model test tomorrow - has anyone gone through / is going through the same test? Would be willing to exchange notes on how recruitment is going if helpful and swap intel. 

Heard the model test is extremely hard (it's 75 minutes so unsure what they can even throw at you) so any color is appreciated.

Godspeed my fellow off-cycle monkeys

Thanks. Any particular reason other than time crunch or pdf? Was there a dividend debt recap or PIK or add-on you had to account for?
