Know your secondaries down cold. A friend of mine interviewed there and almost the entire process was focused on what they knew about GP-led deals and why they wanted to work PCA. Pretty sure they’re the market leader in GP-leds so really make sure you understand the continuation fund process.

 

this. interviewed and got hammered so bad. didn't know wth they were asking. and that was just the phone interview. not super hard stuff if you just study a bit beforehand, but a bit unfair for an analyst role especially when you're in college/just out of college. interviewer sounded pissed and done with me..so that's that lol

 

If you’re applying for a specific group, you should know the technicals related to it

 

Got the interview. Basic questions like tell me about yourself, explain what we do in PCA. Soft technicals and a relatively easy interview. I hope I get to the next round though!

 

yeah, did they tell you how the recruitment process is? (how many rounds & when you'll hear back for the next round) 

 

were you interviewing for full-time 1st year analyst? I see you are an A1 already, are you trying to switch? 

 

When was your second round?

Could you share your timeline from first round to moving on to second round?

 

R1 was (Feb/03) and R2 was (Feb/06). I just heard back for R3. what part of the process you in? they are super quick about notifying you in R1, I received an invitation like 45 mins after my interview.
