Got a few interviews at a few PE MFs, I wanted to ask a very simple question to anyone in the field - what makes a candidate stand out vs other candidates? Is it technical abilities, is industry specific knowledge, business acumen, personability and fit etc... or is it being objectively outstanding in all areas?
Any advice is appreciated, thanks.
