Free option is to google “NYU Valuation Professor” (Aswath Damodaran). I️ remember seeing a blog where he walks through modeling for different scenarios. He also has model templates available as well. Other free option is “Street of Walls” which has example LBOs and other typical interview questions you’ll get for PE.

Folks recently joined P in the tech consulting practice. One one of the calls I realized that we are not really selling solutions but mostly staff aug for clients. Is that really how P does business? Coming in from big 4 this was a surprise to me. Given that most D and MDs are homegrown, probably used to this way of business, however we are not selling solutions is a concern in my opinion. Thoughts?

Not trying to find loopholes, but given their low-income, would be nice to know if there are programs I’m not finding in my rsch.
