I’m applying for a PE role and have been given a take home model test where they want me to build a dynamic 3 statement model with up/down/base cases. Is there a template I can find online for this?

You should be able to do this from scratch man or you’re going to struggle in the job. You can find guides but not templates online through the interview prep services like Wallstreetoasis. I would get one of those, practice hard and then crush the next one you have to do

Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.

Went for a pre-employment drug test yesterday. They never asked me if I was on any medications.

Now I'm terrified that I should have put ALL my meds, to including my psych meds. I've been sober over 12 years and never touched drugs (just booze) but I'm having a full blown panic attack.
