PE Invite Question
Hey Everyone,
I got invited to the office of a large PE firm( think Apollo, Blackstone, KKR) to meet with the group I have applied for as a full time analyst (in London) in the fall. They said it will be a networking event, serving drinks and food. What should I expect? I know it's pretty self explanatory. My question is, is there going to be 30 other people gunning for the same position? Is this already a narrowed down group? I'm new to the formal PE recruiting process. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I would think it would be a larger group of people, and mainly for networking, meet & greet purposes. If it was presented as a networking event, served with refreshments, I doubt it would be a select group that they already plan on advancing in the recruiting process.
Best of luck, let us know how it goes.
Worth checking with alumni from university and colleagues from your current firm.
There will be other candidates, but probably less than 20 folks. You're almost guaranteed an interview once they begin the process. Good luck!
Thanks a lot. Wow. Even fighting for one or two spots with 20 ppl is a far shot.
I think there's generally like 20-30 candidates for each available seat at these shops. So if there are 2 open slots, there's likely ~50 kids in the process.
Wow. Alright, gotta continue looing for other full time positions then. Got too excited for nothing there. Thanks for the help.
I remember reading somewhere that a number of times it is a major luck factor that helps you secure a spot. So I'd say keep in mind the intense competition but just make the most of the opportunity.
