Have a 1st round summer associate interview with HLHZ Restructuring soon and was wondering if anyone could provide any tips on what to expect (types of questions) and how to prepare (any specific guides/good books to check out)?
Any help is appreciated

In terms of guides, I have the BIWS stuff, and I have found it to be quite useful. It helps lay out the different technical questions, and also how you should present your story. I haven't tried the other guides, but I have had good experiences with BIWS, so far.
Thanks Sharp2ndF - I have the BIWS stuff as well and its helpful, although the section on section on restructuring and distressed M&A wasn't that big and I was hoping to find something else more detailed
Oh, that's true. My bad! I'm sure people in the field will comment soon; a lot of people on this site definitely have some good insight.
First round interview Houlihan FRG - LA (Originally Posted: 01/20/2013)
Any insight into what kinds of questions I should expect?/Should prep
It's an in person first round with an associate. So far all I have done is read the houlihan case(excluding normal IB prep: DCF, Accounting...)
Also thoughts on Houlihan FRG in general would be appreciated.
Thanks!

interested as well
i heard its very debt and restructuring technical and heavy
know in dpeth about capital structure and which debt level you should invest in based on assumptions given
Know your financial statement flow-throughs. They asked the most difficult ones. Keep track of all the different items, sometimes you won't catch something until you get to the balance sheet.
Were there any tough questions besides the ones on financial statements?
i had a first round with them.
My interview was very technical, but didn't involve any of the questions from the WSO restructuring guide.
The only one I got was to tell them how to normalize the income statement for a distressed company. Everything else was very situational.
Thanks man, any suggestions on how to prep for it?
get ready to be raped
lol that probably sums it up best
