Secondaries Case Study Interview Guidance

Hello,

I was informed that I would be having a case interview for a large secondaries fund and I am very excited but also nervous at the same time. I don’t know how to prepare. If you have gone through the process, please advise some good resources for me to read up and prepare myself. I appreciate it.

Thanks!

Hi Analyst 2 in IB-M&A, no, I never sleep and so I can respond to any lonely threads (like this one) at all hours of the night. Impressive, I know ;-)

More suggestions...

I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
