Blackstone Tac Opps (BTO) Interview!
Hey Folks, I was lucky enough to land an interview with Blackstone Tactical Opportunities (BTO or Tac Opps).
Their first round interview is a "case interview." I've never done any case prep for consulting + don't know how BTO's version would differ from a classic consulting case. I assume it has more of an investing angle, where you make the buy / pass call on a potential investment after being told to consider a company / industry.
Would love some direction in understanding how to prep + what BTO may be looking for in a case interviewee
Did you get notified last Thursday as well?
Yup, it made my day. How are you prepping?
I'll PM you
Went through their process last year. The case was pretty unique.
Similar to other private equity cases in that the interviewer described a business, then asked a series of qualitative and quantitative questions about it. The main difference was that the quantitative portion wasn't a paper LBO but rather this cash-flow based exercise that I hadn't run through before.
I didn't get past the first round (so take with a grain of salt), but I'd spend some time really getting comfortable moving between EBITDA and FCF.
That's perfect. Thanks a ton. Did they use a cash flow statement or what was that exercise? Would it help to study a paper LBO anyways?
