So I have been working on models again, after some time, and I don't know how to compare my models to the industry norm in IB/PE now. The last major model I built was the Micro-Yahoo (attempted acquisition) in 2008, and also some future revenue growth model for Yahoo as well. 2008 was a long time ago, then I went to L-school, so haven't really done much since.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a site, or if someone would like to share, where I could find up to date models. Various revenue models, M&A...etc. I would like to compare my templates. I feel as if my models are sort of plain looking. I did go back to my MBA program site, found some there, but again they were very plain, just to teach students the basics.
Any ways, any help would be appreciated.作者: tikfed 时间: 2011-10-5 20:37

@jmh530- Thank you.
@builders- I totally agree with you, but I think only good engineers understand that. I am interviewing, and sometimes I show recruiters my models, and I can tell they do not understand it, yet the look on their face is "So.....that's it? Where is the rest of it?"
I met with a headhunter and I showed them a yield curve model, and they didn't understand Duration/Convexity. After a long explanation, which I could tell they didn't fully comprehend, guess what they asked, "So that's the whole thing?" In my mind I was thinking, "Are you serious?"
That's the only reason I am asking. For people who don't understand I think they want to see some bells and whistles. And, it wouldn't hurt me if I included them.
