Career Resources
Based on the WSO Dataset, Warburg Pincus typically starts its full-time analyst recruiting process well in advance of the start date. For instance, discussions and queries about the 2021 and 2024 full-time analyst positions began as early as June 2020 and May 2023, respectively. This pattern suggests that for the 2025 full-time analyst positions, candidates might expect the process to kick off around two to three years prior to the start date, potentially around mid-2023 to early 2024.
The content of the interviews can be expected to cover a range of technical questions related to private equity, including LBO modeling tests, as well as behavioral questions to assess fit within the firm's culture. The WSO courses, such as the Private Equity Interview Course, which includes LBO modeling tests, and the IB Interview Bootcamp, covering both technical and behavioral questions, are highly relevant for preparation. Additionally, the Venture Capital Bootcamp might offer useful insights into investment evaluation, which is pertinent to Warburg Pincus's activities.
Remember, staying informed through platforms like WSO and engaging in preparatory courses can significantly enhance your readiness for the interview process.

Do they sponsor?
Yes they do
Came to my school recently for an info session. Application closes May 2nd with the first rounds targeted for mid-May being virtual interviews. Superday in NY Office in June and Final rounds hybrid in June-July.
BUmp
bump - anyone heard about first rounds being given out yet?
Does anyone know any network needed? Going to a target and having a BB M&A internship line up.
Wondering when first rounds will be/when they are giving out invites.
Same, haven't heard of anyone receiving one yet
Bump anyone heard back yet? Last time I spoke to my connection they said offers will come out in July but has it started?
nothing
Did you speak to anyone at firm besides HR? Did not think networking was considered. Also have not heard back.
Networks always matter, from my connection they said especially for something like Warburg where the analysts and associates do the resume screens
I didn't network. the analyst website said not to and only to reach out to hr
Anyone heard anything yet?
Haven’t gotten anything
Isn’t Warburg pincus such a funny name. What is Pincus ??? I touch pincus???
Look through this guys comment history. Dude is a depiction of what all of us will turn out like if we don't stop consuming brainrot TikTok content
I've noticed a recent surge in randoms just constantly shitposting/shitcommenting with no meaningful contributions. Oh well, at least they bump our posts on the forum
bump. anyone hear anything?
Can you f up your chances at getting a FT offer at your SA bank if you apply? Or is chill as long as you are not actively networking?
Dude a significant amount of the analysts and associates reviewing our apps would have been in the exact same situation as us. Why would they fuck us over?
Where df did you guys find the link to apply? I couldn't find it a couple weeks ago when I was checking.
Was it on their website?
On Handshake at targets, plus strong clubs at my target got outreach from HR and OCR info-session and invite-only dinner.
So if you are non-target they don’t even let you apply?
Bump. Anyone heard anything yet?
Just spoke to my friend there, interviews supposed to drop early next week
Same person as this comment - told it'll be later than early next week but he didnt know when
Someone on here said an email went out yesterday?
Any update on this?
I'm doing 25 SA at a MM PE shop from a semi-target. Is there a chance for me at all to recruit for this full time or is it not even worth trying
WB basically only takes the tippy top of the target kids, I would focus your attention elsewhere but shoot an app if it's handshake. it was at my semi-target when I did recruiting, but basically applied solely for the sake of it. Don't expect to get the next offer, but it doesn't hurt to apply.
How does the WP Analyst program compare to the likes of the other MFs? I understand they’re open to promotion unlike BX/KKR and more like Bain/Vista in that sense.
But I also am wondering about exits, as I am sure they are very group specific. For example. WP Tech/SIG teams’ experience overall are probably inferior to that of Vista/Silver Lake for obvious reasons, whereas Industrials and Healthcare could be top notch?
would love to hear any insight
Bump, for exits to VC/early stage growth how does WP compare to insight?
Would assume Insight better for early, both roughly equivalent for growth, and WP better for buyout.
Bump on the original question
Why would SIG/tech have a worse experience / exits
Why would SIG/tech have a worse experience / exits
Why would SIG/tech have a worse experience / exits
Bump on this
anyone else get the email?
What email?
I think it's only for diversity
What's the email
Also wondering
First rounds?
Anyone get a second round/hear back yet after 1R?
Are you diversity?
in the same boat can you dm me
Anyone get anything so far?
90min in person superday
Is that only for diversity or everyone?
is this after the 20 min virtual first round
didn't get a virtual r1
Similar situation. Can you DM me?
has any non div come out yet?
