Hi PrepLounge community,

I have an interviewer-led case interview coming up with a PE firm. The guidance I was given was that it is likely to a turnaround / restructuring case for a company in distress, involving a P&L statement or balance sheet. Can anyone recommend some cases like this for me to practice?

Hi there,

  • Pressing Parts Problems in the Ross casebook is perfect (turnaround AND P&L)
  • Little Bud Co in Ross is also good
  • Great Burger in Stern has a good P&L + balance sheet.
  • China Outsourcing Op in Wharton comes close

Hi,

I interviewed for the value creation team of one of the largest global PE shops. It wasn't a turnaround focused case but there was also P&L analysis. 

Happy to share a couple of tips on how to approach interview questions like that - just drop me a dm!

Hi there!

Lots of great answers below already. 

Don't assume though that this is exactly the case that you should be practising for. 

It could be anything.

Sharing with you a few cases based on recent real MBB interviews. They contain detailed interviewer notes so they should come in handy:
