Hey everyone,
Please be serious and helpful on this thread. I really appreciate all your help and thank you in advance. I am looking for some advice and help from senior PE monkeys. I have an interview tomorrow for a PE firm in NY that invests in mid market companies (generalist). My resume entails IBD exp. and recent consulting experience (working with PE firms). From what I heard, this firm likes to have its candidates perform a stock pitch and PE case studies. I figured they would do case studies, since that is normal for any buy-side firm, but stock pitches in PE? Anyways, I have a day (tonight basically) to prepare, since I found out about the interview today. It will be a phone interview with the managing partner, who founded the fund just recently, after many years in banking and other roles. I have been interested in PE since high school, therefore I strived to construct my resume/career path to tailor to a PE firm (banking, consulting), and now I am interviewing for a job (PE Associate), that I really really really want. Please advise on how to prepare, what types of techs, fit, deal questions I will encounter on the phone tomorrow. Please just advise on phone interview, not in-person; as if I make it to the second round, I will def post again for that. Thank you all in advance for all your time, effort, and help.
P.S. -- to better advise me, please do not hesitate in asking questions. I'll answer all of them within just minutes. Thanks again!
Best,
Ddp34
hopefully this helps some

Usually phone interviews just entail whether or not you're a fit. So try and come across well and ask a lot of questions about the firm and the position and then have answers prepared as to why you're a good fit (experience in IBD, PE, stock pitches, etc...). Assuming the MP isn't asking technical questions, I'd just try and learn as much as you can tonight about the fund and what you'd be doing there.
