2015 Private Equity Recruiting Season Around the Corner....

I can't believe it's true, but I am already hearing a few rumblings / rumors from some of my PE contacts that private equity recruiting will be VERY early again this year. In other words, February again, only 11 days away...it would be nice for you guys & gals if it started in March, but I'm not counting on it given the game theory nature of PE recruiting.

With that in mind, I wanted to let you all know that we are hard at work on Version 2.0 of the private equity interview Prep Pack (those of you that already bought can e-mail [email protected] your username so she can get you access to the new videos)! We have already released 8 detailed video solutions out of the 9 LBO Modeling Tests included in the package, with the last to be updated by EOD tomorrow (the videos are a new awesome edition). Over the next 2 weeks we will be adding in a detailed outline to each of those videos with links so you can jump to various sections of the video modeling solution...just a heads up, our longest and most complicated "Full" LBO Modeling video is 4+ hours, so these links will save you time jumping to areas you want to work on or are confused about.

Without further ado, if you're ready to get started, you can get your package by clicking right here!

These videos is what most of you have been asking for, so we really put a strong focus on getting those done the last few months so that you are ready for your PE interviews this time around. We are also going to be recording another ~30+ short videos for inclusion in the guide in the next 2-3 weeks, but I wanted to get this update out there for those of you that are starting to prep. Last year, we weren't able to get the full package out until May, so I think these LBO Modeling videos will make it a much better version 2.0 (and even stronger in 2-3 weeks when the rest of the videos are done).

If you guys have any questions, feel free to fire away in this thread.

Good luck to all of you!
Patrick

ps - we've invested a lot of time and $ into making this product great, but we're not going to increase the price this year because it's already a big investment. As always, anyone who purchases now gets all of the updated versions in the future for free, no matter how much we bump the price. :-)
