Based on the most helpful WSO content, prepping for private credit interviews can be quite similar to preparing for private equity interviews. However, there are specific concepts you'll need to focus on for private credit-specific cases. Here are a few pointers to get you started:
Debt Comps: Understanding debt comparables is crucial to determine the appropriate coupon rate and covenants for the debt being issued. This involves analyzing similar debt instruments issued by comparable companies.
LBO Case Study: Often, a leveraged buyout (LBO) case study is provided. This helps assess your ability to understand the mechanics of leveraged buyouts, which is relevant since private credit deals with debt financing of such transactions.
