First Round Video Interview with PE Fund (90 mins)

Hey everyone,

I have an upcoming first round video interview with a PE fund (90 mins). Wanted to know what I should expect and prepare for?

-Modeling test? -Multiple people ? -Technical questions ?

I've been preparing on all fronts, but in the last few days, would be great to target the highest value / most likely areas.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Private Equity 7 Stories Review

“Very useful session. Arnau gave direct, actionable feedback on my TMAY and 7 stories: flip the pitch to lead with my current role and impact, keep it to ~90s, state the strength first and back it with one example, and use STAR bullets instead of scripts. Great tips on leading with the conclusion and tailoring depth to the interviewer.”

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. ”
