Private Equity Short Resume Review / Recap

“Very good planning prior to the meeting and effective notes that allowed the session to go quickly and effectively. We covered a lot of topics on the resume and I recieved a good amount of notes that I can correct my resume in order to make it more specific for the PE companies I will work with. Was very helpful in the way of bringing out niche skills I have in order to maximise my chances at differentiating myself from more typical IB candidates. Also provided good insights on the MBA process, what is valuable and the WHY side of P.E. which I will go into depth with in my WHY statements that I am going to do. ”

Private Equity Mock Interview

“Andre was amazing to work with. He brought real energy and clarity to every conversation, explained complex ideas simply, and always made time to help. His attention to detail and calm under pressure lifted the whole team, and his feedback was honest, specific and genuinely useful. Beyond the work, he was approachable, generous with his knowledge and made everyone around him better. Every session with him felt insightful and inspiring. I'd love to work with Andre again and would recommend him without hesitation. ”

Although not an investment bank, AlixPartners is a solid comp. They're owned by Hellman & Friedman.

My PE firm is owned by the same guy that owns the I bank we work in the same building as. Same managing directors too. Im pretty sure at some point it gets illegal. Not sure when though.

Thx. Our company just thought about are there any possibility for a Asian PE to acquire some part of rights of a Investment bank in Wall street , or European . I mean from the point of Law . Mainly focus on small Investment bank that are capable of assist some foreign company IPO in NYSE, Nasdaq or European market.
