AMA: (Q / GS TMT / MS M&A) to (BX / TB / SLP)

I've mostly lurked on this forum but am lucky enough to work at one of Q / GS TMT / MS M&A and am incoming this summer at one of BX / TB / SLP. This forum has helped me a lot through the years. So I'm happy to answer any questions about interview prep and my experience recruiting.

I have also prepped an interview prep guide and am happy to mock interview. PM me if interested.
