Trying to prepare for the PwC FDD interview. I was told there will be a case study. Can anyone share some tips or experience on the case study? Do we have to create graph or do complex calculation based on the financial material? Having a hard time understanding what is debt like item and how it gonna affect the ebitda or Net WC? Is there any relationship between QoE, ebitda and Net WC? Are the questions very difficult for experience hire? Thank you!
