Please describe the interview / hiring process.
I got the interview through a headhunter. The first round was with an associate and the second round they made me do a case study.
Associate asked about my background, my deals, then fired off a few technicals including would you invest in a company with negative sales growth, drivers in LBO, and types of debt you could use to find a deal. Case study was straight forward, read a 10m and do an LBO. Had four hours.
