Struggling with PE behaviorals
I’m prepping for on-cycle, and I a plan to do 2-3 year banking 2 years pe 2 years b school path. I’m struggling to like figure out the why’s in regards to behavioral, like why buyout - I have had the most exposure do it during my school years and as a result I want to learn more about it. Why PE - well I want to develop a investor mindset and skill set as well as set my self up for good b school, I know these aren’t the answers that HHs will love, but like oncycle is happening super early and with minimal experience how I do approach to answer these questions.
Agreed that these are all weak reasons that you should not be saying to a headhunter. Maybe try thinking of why buyout vs. alternatives as ways to come up with more compelling answers. Why is PE better than staying in banking, going into VC/GE, hedge funds or corp dev, assuming all of these will give you access to great Bschool? Then also think about why you want to do a certain industry/generalist and strategy. Think about your top 3 firms (assuming it’s not just BX, KKR and APO which would be a problem in of itself) - your “why PE” should go hand in hand in explaining why 3 these firms are the best fit for you
Thank you, as of right now I think I am interested in PE firms that are operational focused (buyout), targeting firms like AEA, CD&R etc, why do I want operational focused - well I want to learn about how someone runs a business, I am also more of a technical guy so PE I assume will allow me to further develop that skill set. Can I PM you I need to figure these out asap lol if it’s cool with you? If not all good
