1st Year Associate

Was intro'd by a recruiter. First 2 rounds were with VPs and mostly focused on my work experience / 'why PE' as I'm coming from a consulting background. There were a few questions gauging my level of knowledge in PE deal process and how PE generates returns but were fairly straightforward. Afterwards I had 2 more technical rounds - 1 paper LBO with some tweaking of assumptions and some solving backwards into target IRR/MOICs which wasn't too bad. Then 1 excel-based case study that was more focused on modeling out an operating forecast for a company rather than building an LBO. Superday consisted of several back-to-back interviews that had consulting style case portions and behavioral portions.
