Hello all, I have a case study interview at a large PE firm soon in the Valuations team and am unsure what to study besides walk me through a DCF and a paper LBO. Does anyone have any experience in this field/ been through this interview process? Ive been reading up on the valuation methods, how to calc WACC/ERP/CAPM, etc., I am not sure what to expect at all as I work in consulting and barely do any DCFs.
