Hi everyone,
I was just wondering if someone can help me in understanding how is a typical day of a PE Analyst/Associate?
Just because I cannot understand what tasks they could perform since these PE funds retain investment banks to execute deals, do valuations, search companies, etc... So, what is left for them in a PE firm?
Sorry for the ignorance, but I'm really curious to understand that...
Appreciate any input. Thanks.
