PE Internship Interview tomorrow, help!
Hello all,
I am a junior undergraduate student and I have a first-round, 30-minute phone interview with a private equity firm tomorrow. I have no prior banking/consulting internship and have little-to-no technical knowledge of finance outside of a basic understanding of how PE business models and transactions work. I have no idea how I got selected for a first-round interview, yet, here we are!
My game plan so far is to refresh myself on PE business models/transactions, do basic online firm research, practice common behaviorals, and prepare my questions. I would also like to learn as much finance as I can by tomorrow, but I understand how little time I really have.
Would anybody be able to give me a brief run-down of what to expect in the interview as well as any resources I might use in the next day to prepare? Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
given that it is just a 30 min interview, I doubt it will be highly technical. However, you should AT THE LEAST, be able to walk someone through a DCF/Construct one in excel. Probably wont ask LBO questions but it would help your chances tremendously to understand the workings of an LBO. They are fundamentally the same.
If i had to guess they will probably just stick to a standard walk me through a DCF model, how would you value XX business, etc. But again, its only a 30 min interview so it is most likely behavioral/resume based.
This cracked me up
gotta do what you gotta do
Lol no dude I get it trust me, wish I could give some useful advice. Good luck!
