Small Buy-Side only PE fund interview
Hey guys. So I just got an interview in a small PE (11--50 ppl on LinkedIn), The president there told me to go to their office next Monday for an interview. Here is what he said in the email:
"We only do buy-side M&A Advisory and this position does not entail financial modeling. It is more qualitative research methods and identifying acquisition candidates from our private equity clients."
I have experience in ER, and I'm interested in M&A. But I honestly have no idea how do I prepare for technicals, or just behavioral ones? Do I still need to prepare DCF, 3 statement questions?
Thanks a lot.
you're dialing phones buddy
Oh okay....doesn't seem to be very promising...
sounds like you're calling companies ceos to source deals that you can potentially sell to PE firms and get a small sourcing fee. Look up Blackmore Partners and avoid if them.
Had an interview with a similar firm not too long ago and the associates on the team said it's about 90% sourcing (ie. cold calling/cold emailing lower MM companies to get any information out of them). Talked with some senior people in finance that I am close with and every single one of them said it wouldn't add value to my resume at all and to avoid at all costs.
I appreciate the insight man. Let me shoot an email to the president there and ask him more specifically about what I'll be doing...but based on what I see on WSO, I'll probably forgo this one
