PE with the most difficult model tests
To prep for PE interviews, I built a lot of LBOs from real PE rounds. It seems HIG, TB, and EQT have some of the toughest technical interviews among MFs/UMMs. I'm curious, which other firms have you found to have difficult model tests?
TB?
Thoma bravo
Could you please share the prompts for the tests?

What makes these tests so difficult? How do they compare to say PF level 5?
Most on-cycle test don’t get nearly as complex as the PF ones. What’s makes them difficult is when they try to assess investor acumen and give you relatively little time to build a from scratch model. The LBOs are all pretty standard with no div recaps/add-ons/etc and they are more interested in your ability to make a recommendation from just a CIM and a couple of hours. Obviously exceptions and there are certainly ones that purely want to test your modeling ability, but in my opinion those are not the hardest.
Agree, just want to add that some are. The ones that come to mind are HIG (equity waterfall, two tranches of debt with some wrinkles) and KPS (complete from scratch, key in from PDF). Just so people have a heads up.
Thanks! It's very helpful!
What’s up with all these comments about PF being removed by mods?
Lol guess that don't like other interview prep services being mentioned even if its not promoting them.
Centerbridge
Agree, have heard the same
I had a look, and Centerbridge models are also extremely hard
Where do you find these models?
Out of curiosity, what makes it difficult?
How so?
Why?
What quirks have you all seen in an off cycle test? OID, management options?
