Based on the most helpful WSO content, the GIP (Global Infrastructure Partners) interview process in London typically includes a super day. This involves an in-person case study or a paper LBO exercise lasting around 45 minutes. During this exercise, the interviewer provides one piece of information at a time, and you are expected to extract the necessary details to calculate returns manually—no calculator allowed. While the task isn't overly difficult, it does require a solid understanding of financial concepts.
Subsequent interviews are often two-on-one and focus heavily on deal experience. Be prepared for in-depth questions about companies, their business models, and specific risks, such as commodity risk or contract structures. This indicates that the team values candidates who can demonstrate a strong grasp of both technical and practical aspects of infrastructure investments.
If you're preparing for your first round, ensure you have a solid understanding of LBOs, financial modeling, and the nuances of infrastructure-related deals. Good luck!
