The difficulty came through most in the modelling expectations too, especially around covenant modelling and how returns played out across different types of shareholders.

The overall feel was intense and very “technical-first,” with the interviewer pressing into details rather than keeping things at a high level. Even the accounting discussions weren’t framed as background
