Large Cap vs Mid-Cap

Hey everyone,

I am a first-year analyst at a BB bank preparing for Private Equity recruiting, and I was hoping some people who have gone through the recruiting process could help me out a bit with regards to headhunter meetings.

I have been told that it is extremely important to know exactly what you want when you meet with headhunters, but I think we can all agree that is tough given the fact that I have only been working for 1 month! Ridiculous...

I want to be specific with headhunters, but I also don't want to limit myself too much so I'm trying to find a good balance. Do you think it's okay to say you are open to working for mid-cap funds (1-4 billion), but that you also want to work for a mega fund? I don't want to go in there and set my standards too high saying I want to work for a mega fund, and then miss out on all the great mid-cap opportunities.

Also, what would be some good points to hit on for why a mid-cap over a mega-fund and vice versa?

Thanks,

Kevin
