Private Equity Interview / Technical questions - for a newbie

Hi WSO Community, a friend asked me to recommend some courses to prepare for the technical questions of a PE interview (DCF, modeling, company analysis, Bloomberg, Excel, etc)? I know that Wallstreet prep, WSO and Peak Frameworks seem to offer similar classes. What are your thoughts? Do you recommend any other sources? Thank you!

Private Equity Mock Coffee Chat

“Jorge was very practical and generous with his time. He gave me a clear action plan: tighten my elevator pitch to under 2 min, do a weekly modelling case study, and prep technicals, market questions and behaviourals. His networking advice (always ask each contact for 1-2 more names, track fund closes to spot hiring windows, a list of London infra headhunters) was very actionable. He also referred me internally to Nuveen within a week. Only point to improve: I’m still waiting for his feedback on the case studies I sent.”
