Secondary Investing Associate Interview Guidance

Hello,

I am interested in this space but there are not many materials publicly available that guide me how to do well or at least to prepare prior to the modeling / technical interview.

I have seen that people advise to still understand LBO mechanics but besides that, what else should I prepare for? I have found BIWS to be super helpful but please advise of other sources you found to be useful during your interviews.

Thank you!
