Thanks Pirho. Any information on interviews?
Wondering what kind of questions they could ask. Modeling test?
Which geography? EMEA?
In the US
Sorry. I only know their EMEA team.
LBO with various type of debt (e.g. step up, PIK et cetera) and also make sure you can model ECFS. In regards to the case study (risks and merits) explain your thoughts on the amount of turns of leverage, credit support (asset coverage & CF) and covenants.
Follow up question: What does ECFS mean?
Excess CF sweep
Ah thanks. I was confused for a second
All,
Just following up here and seeing if any additional insight? First year at a BB bank in the Lev Fin group and would love to understand what the interview process would be like and if any examples of case studies? Any anecdotes helpful! Thanks!
