Off-Cycle and LBO Model Struggle

Hi all,


i am currently in a mid-tier BB looking to do off-cycle probably.


however, I am confused on some model stuff and the off-cycle process. If someone could please help clarify, would be grateful.


1) I am building out LBO models from scratch, but holy fuck it feels impossible to do this in one hour. I was told I have 1 hour to do a full 3 statement LBO model? Takes me 2 hours easily. It literally feels impossible, writing out all assumptions, building out everything. Am I being lied to or do people overexaggerate?


2) in an off-cycle process, what is the biggest component that makes it a lot different than on cycle?


3) how long does it usually take to get comfortable with modeling? 
 

thank you
