Hi there,
I have a candidate interviewing for the same role in Indonesia. Feel free to reach out and I could put you in touch to practice together.
Aside from this, I'd suggest you reach out to the recruiter to ask for more details on the interview OR connect with a couple of people who have recently been employed in that role (search for them on LinkedIn). On the latter - they could help you with a more granular understanding of how the recruitment process was and what it takes to succeed.
Here's a guide on how to conduct these sort of discussions:
Best,
Cristian

You have to be prepared for cases in general. But for transaction roles (Commercial Due diligence) you have to be particularly good at market sizing, performance improvement, how to drive a company growth, and understand / brainstorm on how a market is behaving.

Of course you're more likely to have Deals + ME-related cases. At the same time, you need to prep for being flexible/adaptable.
Here's some reasoning to help you prep!
