Partners Group Case Study / Interview Process

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some insights on preparing for case study tests and interviews, particularly for firms like Partners Group:

1. Preparation for Case Studies:

   • Practice Variety: Engage in numerous case studies in different formats. This will help you become familiar with various types of problems and scenarios.
   • Storytelling: Have stories with positive outcomes ready, even if the real story is more complex. This helps in presenting a coherent and optimistic narrative during the interview.

2. Interview Dynamics:

   • Behavioral Assessment: Some firms, like Bain, assess behavior through case studies rather than explicit behavioral questions. Be prepared to demonstrate your soft skills and problem-solving approach within the context of the case.
   • Feedback and Improvement: Work with good case partners who can provide actionable feedback. This will help you identify and improve on your weaknesses.

3. General Tips:

   • Rehearsal: Go through your points thoroughly, know everything front to back, and rehearse with friends or mentors.
   • Written Cases: If the interview includes a written case, practice this specifically as it requires a different set of skills compared to verbal case studies.

For more detailed preparation, consider looking into specific courses and bootcamps offered by WSO, such as: - Private Equity Interview Bootcamp: Detailed PE LBO tests and case studies. - Modeling & Valuation Bootcamp: Covers Excel, M&A, 3-statement, DCF, Comps, and LBO modeling.

These resources can provide structured and comprehensive preparation for your interview process. Good luck!
