Key Interview Angles
Business vs. credit
A good business is not automatically a good credit. The real test is what happens to cash flow and debt service in a softer case.
Docs matter
Leakage, permissive baskets, and loose guardrails can weaken lender protection long before the numbers look broken.
Spread is not the thesis
Higher coupon only helps if coverage still works and the borrower can refinance from a position of strength.
How to say it
I care less about headline spread than whether cash flow, structure, and documentation still protect the lender when the plan slips.
One market angle. One interview answer. One deal worth knowing. One prep move. No pseudo-data. No noise.

LinkedInWho is this for?
Candidates targeting private credit, direct lending, special situations, or broader private debt roles who need sharper answers and cleaner case-study judgment.
How long does it take to go through?
A focused pass takes a few hours. You can also use it selectively the week of your interviews or the night before a loop.
Is this a generic finance course?
No. PCP is interview-first and lender-first. The point is not to relearn finance 101. The point is to sound specific when the room starts pressing on downside, structure, and documentation.
How do I get access?
Instantly. The Interview Guide is delivered digitally through Gumroad as soon as you check out.
Is this a subscription?
No. One-time purchase at $197. Instant, permanent access — no recurring fees.
