Any tips for the 30 min PE case studies? I’ve had trouble finding the balance between asking more qualitatively about the company so as to understand its competitive landscape etc to inform assumptions and just straight up asking for numbers. I guess if the goal is to build a LBO, what are okay questions to ask without just appearing straight up asking as if you aren’t thinking about it? E.g. is this company capital intensive? Vs. historically, what % of sales is spent on capex?

Hey everyone,

How is the hiring going on atm for the below-mentioned positions -London:

1 - Associate PEPI position (Mckinsey)
2 - Associate - Generalist (Mckinsey)
3 - Senior Associate - PIPE (BCG)

I have around 2.5 years of experience in a boutique consulting firm and am contemplating between PE vs generalist role. Around 60% of the projects I have done are in PE practice in my current firm so not sure if I am eligible to apply for PIPE/PEPI.

I have an offer from Infosys i.e 8.5 lpa including 10% variable. I have another offer from pwc with 10.5 lpa fixed. Which firm should I join ? Should I mail to Infosys to increase the offer ?

Hi Guys, i have 6+ years of experience, and recently I worked for 1month in one company and left them and I also got the release letter from them and join new company, and now I got offer from FIS, the package is good and i really want to join FIS, can anyone relate and help me out??

Is 5 YOE considered entry level or associate? When I apply to associate level jobs I get nothing but rejections. And all the entry level jobs call for new grads or people with under 3 YOE.

I’m so confused. How do recruiters look at someone with 5 YOE? What level is that considered?

Anyone have insight into VC/investing firms that (1) invest in early-stage start-ups, (2) target above market rate returns, and (3) have a real focus on social impact (e.g., climate change-focused, investing in emerging markets)

What do you all think lies in store for PE over the next 5-10 years? Especially given record levels of dry powder + fewer truly good opportunities + more expensive debt?
Have heard industry consolidation (PE firms buying out one another), sector specialization and other elements may be more common, but curious to hear other thoughts

How does negotiating an offer in the middle of the year to start in PE/ private debt work? Does your new employer give you a pro rated amount upfront as a signing bonus or do you get a full amount on their bonus calendar at the end of the year?

What are exit opps like after 4 YOE (two years MBB, two years MM PE fund associate)?

Completed a process for a position about 2 weeks ago and haven’t heard back. They indicated it would be a lengthy turnaround given they are setting up a new fund and building the team top down. Would it be rude to ask for a timing/process update? Driver of me wanting to push is I have moved far along in another process and don’t think I’ll have much time to decide. The slower moving opportunity is more attractive to me but there would likely be one more round there to complete.

How did you know you wanted to exit to PE (given that recruiting happens <1 year into consulting life)? I am interested in recruiting but really can't tell if I would prefer it to consulting

What is Altman Solon’s reputation for PE recruiting in Europe? I am considering an offer, but want a PE tech fund exit after 2/3 YoE.

In what cases is VC worth it at the lower non partner level, given that it's top heavy and paths to partner don't really exist? And outside of pre MBA?
