PE Headhunters - How Should I Prepare as 2nd Year IB Analyst
I'm a second-year investment banking analyst at a smaller firm and haven’t had much exposure to the traditional recruiting process with headhunters. No one at my firm has gone through it, and my personal network is limited in that regard, so I’ve mostly been relying on online resources - which tend to focus on on-cycle recruiting for undergrads or first-year analysts with limited deal experience.
I’ve built a solid deal resume as a second-year and am now looking to recruit off-cycle. I recently had my first call with the initial recruiter who reached out to me, and they’ve now asked me to speak with a more senior member of the headhunting firm to discuss my experience in more detail before speaking with the PE firm.
How should I be preparing for this next conversation? Should I expect it to be more high-level and qualitative (e.g., discussing my role on deals, industry focus, etc.) or should I be ready for technical/deal math-type questions? If the latter, how deep do these typically go in terms of difficulty and topics?
