Ares Management Direct Lending Summer Analyst interview questions

First round: Basic behavioral, then difficult PC technicals Overall, make sure to know cash flow sweep LBO questions, fixed and variable cost questions, PC metrics, and FCF vs LFCF This is a difficult interview, make sure you can do mental math, and have a pen and paper ready.

Three to four rounds of interviews before a superday. Interviewers seemed pretty nice and the questions I got weren’t too difficult. Communication with HR was fairly straightforward and smooth, but got ghost at the end about the final decision.
