M&A and LBO model

Hello All,

I am interested in breaking into PE/Investment banking and was wondering what models you are expected to know for an interview ( what do they look like, how complex or granular is the data). Would anyone happen to have both an LBO and M&A model they could share ? others have suggested courses from “ Training the street” but I am hesitant to shell out a thousand dollars for a course. I also have access to coursera would anyone have any course recommendations on that platform ?

You need a strong understanding of both for banking and PE. Find templates online on Macabacus. Build it from scratch to get a good understanding. Others to know: merger model, comps, precedents, knowing other valuation methods are also helpful.

You don’t need to shell out anything but time to learn.
