Current Topics in PE Discussion

Hi!

I was wondering what some current topics in PE would be. For example, I recently listened to the book The New Tycoons and it covered the issue of carried interest and execs profit-sharing in deals - and the following political scene surrounding it and how it may be taxed. I want to know current events/details.

I want to understand what is happening in the world of PE. Current Topics, Big Deals, Political Atmosphere surrounding that. Something to talk to managers about and just learn about the field.

So if you can, pitch in!

Thanks,

Private Equity Short Resume Review / Recap

“Very good planning prior to the meeting and effective notes that allowed the session to go quickly and effectively. We covered a lot of topics on the resume and I recieved a good amount of notes that I can correct my resume in order to make it more specific for the PE companies I will work with. Was very helpful in the way of bringing out niche skills I have in order to maximise my chances at differentiating myself from more typical IB candidates. Also provided good insights on the MBA process, what is valuable and the WHY side of P.E. which I will go into depth with in my WHY statements that I am going to do. ”

Private Equity Mock Coffee Chat

“Very useful session. Jorge went straight to the point and gave me a concrete action plan for breaking into infra funds in London. Key takeaways: tighten my elevator pitch (past-present-future, under 2 min), do one case study per week (model + presentation + recommendation) and send it to him for feedback, and prepare technical, market and behavioral questions separately. His networking advice was the most valuable part: always end each conversation by asking for 1–2 more contacts, map and message headhunters directly, and follow fund news (closings, launches) to time my outreach. He also offered to refer me to open roles at his fund. Highly recommended.”
