Dear,
I am a sophomore and I recently interviewed for a business development at a PE firm. It's more like researching target companies and industries. My goal is to end up in PE/HF after undergrad. If gotten an offer, what should I focus on learning and how could I leverage this into another internship?
Thanks!
