In terms of questions they ask? Or how the individuals are treated by headhunters?
I was originally thinking in terms of questions asked and how you're looked upon. But since you mentioned how headhunters treat you, that would be great to know also.
Thanks
I can't speak to LevFin interviews first hand, since I'm never been through one
However a friend of mine who was in LevFin was asked alot more industry related questions than would be expected.
Headhunters will treat you well assuming you're bulge and got a top bonus, because they usually send a couple people from each bank. Bonus is their measurement across firms and your peers. You can lie, but it will get dug up.
I also had a friend from LevFin who got asked almost all industry related questions during his interview. He was totally caught off guard.
Just from my experience, FSG is looked upon pretty highly by most PE firms and they expect you to know some of the minute details of LBOs that an industry person might be able to get away with.
Great, thanks for the info. I thought they might focus on valuation since they figured you know everything about industry/modeling.
