More suggestions...
Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.

You interview with them?
Yeah; pretty technical rounds with the team but did well. Absolutely bombed the quant testing at the end which led to me not getting the offer
Got it… was it for aso 1 type role? how did you find the team? Seem sharp? When you say “quant” stuff, what do you mean?
have heard good things overall
I interviewed with them. As others mentioned pretty technical as they asked a lot of “outside the box” math-y questions which really tested your critical thinking skills. Overall was very impressed by the team. Definitely an infrastructure-heavy focus and situate themselves more on the value end of the spectrum. Gotta remember that these are all ex-Macquarie guys so would not be surprised if culture was a bit sweaty / sharp elbowed.
I was also dinged in the aptitude test round and felt it was a bit unfair after I feel like I crushed all the other rounds but it is what it is. Definitely a solid opp. No idea what comp is like but would have to imagine it’s in line with other MM PE shops. I think their initial raise was ~$1bn?
I also interviewed with them and failed the aptitude test.
On comp, the HH mentioned they are 'willing to pay up for the right talent' - ie they will at least match your current comp and increase it slightly
.
Could you maybe elaborate on the questions they are asking? Is there also a modeling test required? Many thanks!
Bump. Any color on this legendary aptitude test?
Anyone have insights into their process?
Strongly do NOT recommend. The interview process was fine and not overly technical. During my due diligence on the firm however, I came across multiple indications of insanely high employee turnover, particularly at the mid-level. Also people mentioned there is a very bad culture that treats people unfairly and no job security
Job security? Maybe go get a job at the Department of the Interior.
