Placement Agent / Private Funds Advisory Coaching

Long time lurker first time poster. I'm a funds lawyer wrapping up B-School in Europe. Before B-school, I was a a funds lawyer for a large LP in the Middle East. I am planning to join the PFA/PFG of a boutique (think EVR, Moelis etc) or a standalone placement agent on the PM side. I am getting the interviews and making it to final rounds, but when it's case study time I screw it up. Since they are "not allowed to provide feedback" I don't know where I screw up which is obviously not very helpful and quite disappointed. I am therefore looking for someone with PFG/PFA that/be willing to mentor me? Thanks!
