heard the community’s ‘red team’ feature lets PE pros critique your models. anyone try this? did their feedback actually help for interviews or just destroy your confidence? how do you filter useful toughness from pure ego takes? examples of tweaks that made your model bulletproof?
they’ll rip anything to flex. take 1-2 nitpicks to ‘improve’, ignore the rest. bonus if you mention their critique in interviews to sound ‘coachable’
so worth it!! got awesome tips on terminal value logic. you’ll grow thick skin fast!
