Have anyone went through EQT Core Fund Interviews (Round 1)?
I understand there will be mini case studies and paper LBOs

Hi sher_anne, any of these discussions helpful:
More suggestions...
If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
I would recommend preparing for mini case studies (consulting style) and paper LBOs. P.s. the paper LBOs are not as simple as they get.
Could you give an example? Most paper LBOs I have come across we’re pretty straight forward so was wondering how different his would be
Probably weird growth rates, a few tranches of debt with different rates/sweeps, maybe asking you to back out an exit multiple rather given MOIC, maybe a more involved calculation for revenue, etc. I would imagine OP was just talking about them making the paper LBO harder than usual.
Hi, Can you elaborate on the mini LBOs and the consulting style case studies? What should I prepare in order to crack them?
Does EQT do proper LBO case studies in subsequent rounds (i.e. multi hour case on excel with memo write up) or the case studies stay at this level, i.e. paper LBO and consulting style case studies?
Hi does anyone mind sharing in which quartile they have scored in the test? Am a bit worried
Anyone insights on the mini case studies? Understanding this is consulting style?
Are you interviewing for core fund? If yes, can PM you.
Yes exactly - that would be great
