Private equity interview guide questions

Found a pretty useful PE interview guide Redacted The financial modeling is a bit basic for an experienced banking analyst, but the interview guide and questions were helpful

I think that most of the billion+ shops (i.e. KKR, Blackstone, etc.) are probably towards the end of their recruiting cycle, but middle market shops are still interviewing. The big shops tend to recruit late summer / early fall. Middle market shops tend to recruit on a needs basis and so you should be able to find some recruiting year round. This site has a few job postings: http://www.pehub.com/classifieds/index.php. I'd also check out glocap.com.
