MDs want to know that you can do the job without too much baby sitting. As long as you are confident and can explain ‘clearly and concisely’, MDs will like you. No one has the patience to understand stories. So ‘clear and concise’ will get you there. Honesty also matters. If you don’t know something, explain why you don’t know and express interest in figuring it out. Best wishes.

Know what a Lead arranger/MLA (Mandated LA) is & what that entails, the difference between a syndicated & club deal and why lenders syndicate. Look up some recent syndicated deals (esp. in your bank's key sectors) note down lenders-sector and keep an eye out for if any lenders come up repeatedly in same sector. Have that handy if the conversation comes up.
