PE On-Cycle Study Materials

Looking for where people went to get case studies and materials for technical preparation for PE interviews. Preferably free but if there are great sources that have a pay wall, wouldn’t be opposed either.

Also, any tips or suggestions for technical prepping for PE Interviews / dealing with headhunters in general are greatly appreciated.

Most banks / groups have a shared drive for this kind of stuff.  Ask some analyst you interned for, friend from an investment club, fraternity brother, etc.  Someone will be able to hook you up (likely for free) so you don't waste $30 per case study.  Can guarantee most, if not all of these, are floating around somewhere.
