They will definitely ask you about your knowledge of 13-week cash flow forecasting. Restructuring is a relationship-driven field, and personality/how you present yourself to unusual questions/scenarios and how you would approach them with your thought process on the spot may be very relevant considering that’s part of the every day job. Understand all cash flow implications and how a borrowing base works.

This will also vary depending if your doing more operational or financial restructuring.

What firm?

It's very technical. Not sure what your background is but a firm I interviewed with (not Deloitte) asked very detailed questions about DCFs and LBOs . For some reason, consultants value the DCF very highly.

Ive been using a modeling course at wall street prep to which I got access through my school. I have an interview in a couple of days too but not sure what they would be asking, let me know if you want to exchange tips

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you

PwC 🐠, I interviewed with the firm about 6 months ago for a Senior Associate position on the forensics team. I wasn’t extended an offer because the position was given to an internal transfer, at least what I was told. I tried reaching out to the recruiter I worked with last time but the email bounced back and wouldn’t be delivered. I was hoping to see / reapply if the group still was looking for seniors.

In your opinion, would it be best to reapply as a cold application?

Looking for opinions. I’m an IW with 2 yrs experience working from home at a Fortune 500 company w/ excellent benefits, target salary 75k. I was previously offered a job at another company where the 75k salary was guaranteed for the first year. Most people make much more than this once their comp fully ramps up, but, I would have to work in the office. I declined the offer, but now the CEO wants to meet with me several months later. Would I be crazy if I asked for 100k guaranteed salary?
