My understanding is we don’t do case studies for manager candidates.

Even for some one who has a little bit of fdd exposure/experience, but not an exact previous fdd role?

At the senior level, they will give you a case of a hypothetical transaction, background info on the the deal, and IS, BS, etc. They will then give a list of scenarios and you will need to articulate if the circumstances will have an impact to EBITDA. If you know QOE and to a lesser extent Net Debt/Net working capital, you will be fine.

Did it about a month or two ago.
