Anyone know what to expect from conversations with leadership following a technical case at Advent? Wondering if it will be more casual or a proper behavioral interview

Conversations with leaders in PE and VC are always super random to be honest. It just depends on the person. Each leader has a different way through which they assess people. I’ve had leaders grill me on areas of healthcare that I thought were great investments. I also have had leaders who just came in and told me to tell them my life story. Just be prepared for the unexpected is my best advice

That makes sense. In your case, you might have a leader grill you on the previous projects you’ve done and the reasoning behind different data sources. Ultimately, senior people do interviews like this because they are testing how you deal with pressure and uncertainty. Just don’t crack, maintain your cool, and stay a little witty

I feel left out in my firm. How do I make 'friends' with my colleagues? I've been here for a year.

It is an important trait to have in this job and I just don't know how to do this. It makes me very upset - I even sought therapy but wasn't useful. I can't spend 14 hours each day feeling like this:(
