I heard the HIG modeling test was tough. Not sure about the rest of the behavioral process though.
Curious to hear about toughest questions received as well
.
some people in this forum are not as funny as they think they are
You spamming “money” on 10 different posts is quite the laugh, huh
Apax, Apollo, Centerbridge were the 3 hardest interviews according to my analyst class at a top group where between us we interviewed at all the major MF/UMM.
Centerbridge, silver point
Glad to see I'm not alone in thinking Apax is very difficult ... seem like a very thorough group of folks
Centerbridge for me. Not just the modeling but they also ask teasers and thought provoking questions.
Makes sense that most people talking about Centerbridge, Silverpoint. Both distress focus funds. Surprised someone in an m&A group would even be able to pass an interview without having atleast prepped for restructuring techs
how are some of the other on cycle firms - carlyle,kkr,tpg?
EQT
Any advice on interviewing here? Very interested in healthcare which I know is their strong suit
Any info on the top infra players?
Warburg Pincus hands down.
TPG Growth very difficult
Can you share the hardest questions you got asked?
KPS Capital Partners - similar to the comment above that mentioned Centerbridge, it seems a lot of distressed/special sits shops are very thorough and very tough. Most intense deal walkthroughs and case studies I’ve done.
Could you add some more detail on KPS?
Was this an interview this past week, or was it an interview in the past? Thanks!
Bump - would love to hear details
