Flying In for PE Final Interview
I have a final interview coming up with a small pe fund in London that’s led by a very accomplished and growing team. I will be flying in from Singapore to London to do this interview on my own expense. I have had a first round (80 mins over the phone) and a week-long case study, both of which I crushed. I am going to be meeting a few team members and then going out for lunch with team. It’s scheduled for 5 hours. Is this job for me to lose? Will I be getting bonus points for keenness given I’m flying in from a diff country? Any pointers for final rounds Particularly as they relate to social setttings like lunches / dinners ? This is for a senior associate role
Associate 1 in PE - LBOs, sorry there are no responses yet. Maybe one of these topics can point you in the right direction:
More suggestions...
Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.
Lol um why are you paying? I wouldn’t trust any company that makes me do that.
Agree with the above poster, you shouldn't be paying for the trip and it's a red flag if they aren't willing to reimburse you. Is the fund fully raised and what is the AUM?
Did they ask you to fly in for the interview and then say you would pay, or did you offer? Either way this is very strange if you are paying to go interview with them - agree with other posters that it is a big ol red flag.
Preface: not in your industry
Seems odd to me, but it also seems like you essentially told them you were going to be in the UK anyways (not sure why you would volunteer this so casually as it appears clear you weren't going to be) so I'm not surprised they essentially told you to swing by the office to meet. I mean why not if you're there is likely their mindset. Sounds like in general this will be a more casual meeting and potentially less tied to the formal process you are or believe you are in.
