CD&R Spring Week 2024

Dear aspiring monkeys, I was wondering whether any of you has heard anything regarding interviews at CD&R for their London Spring Week. Also interested in the process as well as experiences last year, how was the conversion etc.

I'm under the impression that it is mostly to recruit for their off-cycle internships, which then in turn you can convert, but am interested in any additional insights. Thanks a lot!

 

Ah, the quest for the elusive Spring Week insights! Based on the most helpful WSO content, I can tell you that Spring Weeks are indeed a critical stepping stone for many aspiring financiers in London. They often serve as a gateway to summer internships and full-time offers. However, regarding specific details about CD&R's Spring Week for 2024, there's no direct information available in the context provided.

But let me share some general advice that might help you navigate the process:

  • Networking: This is key. Try to connect with current or past CD&R employees or Spring Week participants. They can offer invaluable insights into the company culture and the interview process.
  • Preparation: Be ready for a mix of fit, behavioral, and technical questions. Make sure you have a solid understanding of accounting, DCF, Comps, and a good grasp of LBOs.
  • Research: Learn as much as you can about CD&R, their recent deals, and their approach to investments. This will help you during interviews and potential presentations.
  • Conversion Rates: These can vary year to year, but typically, firms look to convert high-performing Spring Week interns into summer interns or off-cycle interns, as you mentioned.

Remember, only need that one lucky break, so keep your spirits high and your preparation thorough. If you manage to secure an interview or a spot in their Spring Week, give it your all and it might just turn into the opportunity you're looking for! Keep an eye on the WSO forums for any updates or insights from others who might be in the same boat. Good luck, future finance guru!
