This is the best profile I have found during my last 3 years as analyst, he spoke a poor english but was an easy choice,
This was for a SA on his penultimate year of a southern european country who had:
- 2 PE internships (both UMM)
- McKinsey SA
- Assistant university professor (Finance)
- Top 1% of a target doing a double bachelor
- Invited to selective BCG & Bain events
assistant professor?!
yeah um pretty sure you need at least a college degree for that...
Came across a kid from Dartmouth (iirc) that had a large hedge fund his freshman summer, an EB his junior winter, and Apollo junior summer.
Prob Dartmouth cuz off-cycle
Yeah, at that time, I didn't realize there were so many firms that offered Dartmouth specific off-cycle internships. Kind of crazy, wish I had that.
One of my buddies had 2 10-week internships at top PE firms (think BX, Carlyle, Fortress, Apollo, etc) after his freshman and sophomore year of summer. One CIO really liked him and hooked him up with a MS MD who pushed his resume through for a junior summer internship. Ended up choosing IB over PE since the same CIO recommended it would serve him better throughout his career. Guy to went west coast semitarget
Did he know someone at the PE firm??
yes
