PE case study partners?

Hey WSO,

I'm a MBB consultant looking to participate in PE recruiting in about 3 months. I was wondering if there's anyone - consultant, banker, or none of the above - also planning on interviewing for PE and interested in doing investment case study prep? Running through cases with partners was definitely the most effective way to prepare for consulting interviews so I assume the same would be true for PE case studies.

Also, does anyone know of any sample investment cases online? Thanks!

If you are willing to (well) spend a bit of money, go for the WSO case studies. I used them to prep myself when I was interviewing for buy-side jobs and can confirm the format was spot on whether I had a paper LBO or a day-long test.

Happy to discuss this further if you want to.
