PE Recruitment
Quick rundown - I go to a target school (went in knowing I wanted to recruit), recruited for IB for the typical IB -> PE move. Fairly good resume compared to most sophomores and was in the schools pipeline club.
When it came to IB recruitment earlier this year, I prepped hard, but didn't really network (about 1 per bank and each were ~35+ minutes, and were personable - each person offered to help out with prepping, so I took that as a sign as I was good for those banks). Clearly, 1 was not enough -> didn't get interviewed at a single bank. Did I fuck up, yeah. But did I learn, yeah.
Since the semester came to an end (now rising junior), I've kind of realized that I don't really have the drive for IB and want to jump straight into PE and buy-side roles. Read a few PE books, which lead me down a rabbit-hole and solidified my interest in PE.
Since then I've been really prepping for PE SA 26 roles, specifically for MM firms (about 6-10hrs a day for the past 2 weeks - out of pure interest and wanting to work). I've got down the typical IB technical questions + Merger Models + LBOs. Regarding PE specifics, I understand and have done practice problems on paper LBOs, Waterfalls (accounting for hurdle rates and carry + capital stack), value creation (multiple expansion, deleveraging, operational improvements), mock teaser + CIM (building base and upside cases).
I know I'm pretty late for SA 26 PE recruitment, but I do know that some processes for MM firms are quite long. How can I utilize my time to better prep or learn through online resources?
