Hey Guys,

Happy Holiday!

I have an interview coming up with the top restructuring firms on the street. Given the current condition of the economy, I see a bright near future in restructuring. I just wanted some insight from you seasoned wall street oasers on how to prepare for restructuring interviews. How different are they from typical i-banking interviews? Resources I could look at? Things I should absolutely know etc.

Thanks,

SII

Blackstone founder Stephen Schwarzman has expressed some contrition over his February 2007 birthday bash. The celebrity studded $3M dollar event that took place on Valentines Day, 2007, was Schwarzman's coronation as the new king of Wall Street. With the private equity wagon (temporarily) tipped over and Blackstone's stock down 75% , Schwarzman now prefers not to be held up as a symbol of 'that period of time'. After that super-sweet 60th birthday, he decided to have a much lower key 61st.

No sweat Stevy, we still love you even if you no longer throw kick-ass parties.

Hey,

If anyone has any insights on or experience of BX's UK M&A/Restructuring practice, specifically the 2-year Corporate Advisory analyst program, I would really grateful if you could post something or PM me

Thanks a million.

Anyone know anything in specific about these two Real Estate groups? I'm trying to figure out where to look up prior deals and to know if there's any relevant news for them. Search is turning up nothing useful. Thanks.

What is Blackstone's Limited Partner Relations and Fund Placement Group? As in, what do they do? And how do they relate to the bigger picture at Blackstone? Also it's not Park Hill since their employees are categorized into 2 different groups on their "The Team" page. Thanks!
