Switching to a different industry in PE

I'm thinking of recruiting for a group covering a different industry, and I would love to hear from anyone who has made this transition on interview prep/learning the new industry.

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.”
