Good luck!! Was in same boat almost exactly a year ago. All the hard work is done - get a good night’s sleep beforehand, watch some Netflix instead of rereading case in point, and try to enjoy the conversations! All the interviewers I had were super fu to interact with.

Has anyone had any experience with Water Street Partners for lateral recruiting?

The MD I spoke to named a few other people he was going to have reach out, but haven’t heard from either of them. Just doesn’t feel like a normal process
