    How do you keep your cool when prepping for an intimidating interview?

    I know this might sound rude, but it feels so good to see other students struggling on technicals. It feels good knowing I’m not the only one that didn’t grasp them immediately. I’m sure he prepped hard af after this and came back and killed it!

      @@stevenlovewendy Haha just stick with it brother! I was a mess when I first posted that comment. Technicals can't touch me now. Just an abrupt learning curve then you realize its all pretty easy stuff.

    A good video to watch for freshmen and sophomores and also very good to compare that one with the Mock interview from Grace during Session 11. You can clearly notice the difference in preparation regarding technicals.
    A tough mistake in my opinion was John's slipping on the question "what's my mandate as a Private Equity investor?". A candidate should have a clear "macro" view of who the players are in a transaction and what are they motivated by? So clearly look into what is a sponsor, what is a strategic buyer, financier of a deal, agent or investment banker on a deal, etc, it shows genuine interest towards the job and not only "textbook clearcut" answers.
    It's even good to know what a consultant would do in an M&A transaction (also helps to answer the question "why IB and why not Management Consulting?" )

    How can you make a DCF for a company with literally no revenue? You're already not supposed to make one for a company with unpredictable cash flow, much less no cash flow at all!

      I was thinking the same thing. Might be better to use a relative valuation I think.
