Is 2 days enough to get ready "again" for PE interviews
So I can do paper LBOs/build one based on the popular templates and from scratch pretty quick. I did some recruiting and didn't get an offer a few months ago but want to try again and have an interview scheduled in 2 days. I feel like I am ramping up again quickly but was wondering for those of you have done this if this is enough time? I feel like fund specifics are easy enough to BS (fund size/1 or 2 portcos/industry aligns with my banking group so I can talk the lingo)
Should be good if u already know how to model. Is this for 2026 or 2025?
Honestly not that big of a lift. I was in your shoes where I hadn't interviewed in a while but had an interview that got scheduled on a short-notice and so I quickly put together basic answers for why that fund, why that industry and the like. my first round was divided into technical and non-technical. Technical portion involved a few basic paper LBO questions and so nothing difficult.
The model test was what had me worried but I was able to delay that a couple of weeks under the guise of being busy at work and that gave me enough time to prepare for the model test.
Nice dude, that is helpful and I will try to do the same. Honestly I'm finding it not that hard right now to review accounting/LBO technicals and like you might ask for an extension around the model test to go deep on prep there. Prob need to prep quite a bit around deal talk, though.
How prepared were ya for modeling before you had to ramp up again / what was the length of time in between you last being “ready” and this process emerging ?
What did ya do to model?
