Technicals from On-Cycle

Saw this last on-cycle and it was super helpful for me.

Do some of you mind sharing specific examples of technicals you got during your on-cycle interviews?

Type of fund and location if you are comfortable sharing.

Thanks!

Of the firms I interviewed with: One paper LBO where I was allowed to use excel (very easy, most complicated part was asking how MIP factors in), one deep revenue build walkthrough of deal/model I had on my resume, and one about relationship between multiples and yield. These were the additional technical qs that were separate from the typical model tests.
