How did Bain Cap Special Sits go and what was model test?
Amity is still in process of scheduling, prob 1st round starting next week and model/case same week, then spd. Chatted last Friday, and got told once they start they wanna move super fast so that's why they wanna get everything scheduled/organized
what do you tthink the model/case would be? something focused on special situations / credit? or more of a traditional LBO
I guess prob a bit complicated on debt, but I heard cuz they are not traditionally distressed investor, it may just be LBO and focus on debrief. Bain also tends to be less technical in these and more focused on business acumen and reasoning
Might be bad for relationship with HH's as it looks terrible on their part in terms of screening if someone turns down an offer. However, no recourse outside of HH not liking you since you hadn't formally accepted anything. Can give advice as well if helpful, but we'd need more context. However, if it's a fund that you truly have no interest in, would just turn it down. If it's because it's not your 1st choice; need to do personal risk-reward analysis. Would generally take if it's like a top 5-10 firm for you as it's really hard to land even a single offer in PE recruiting these days given increasing competitiveness of these processes.
to be clear, it's possible the HH will stop showing you good or any opportunities - this happened to a friend
