What is the yearly percentage hike at EY gds?
I’m looking for some additional tips and/or specific things to focus on in preparation for the multi-round interview process for a role at Amazon Web Services in what I assume is for one of the cloud services team. From what I’ve gathered, is the interviews are largely based on the leadership principles. However, how do I know which would be asked? which would be more related to the role/or team I’d be on? What other types of questions to prepare for leading to the 1-on-1 with the hiring manager

See them quite often outside of the NYC PE scene in the lower middle market. To be quite honest I find that their analysts are more prepared for PE than most BB analysts who did cap markets and megadeals
is that like a piper jefferies? i would avoid lol
nope sorry
Well it's Piper Jaffray, first, and second yeah they're pretty present in the MM space, but as you kinda figured they're predominantly present in the mid west, but still hold down deals elsewhere
Same with Raymond James
^ agree with above. When you primarily work on sell-side M&A deals and run very sponsor-heavy processes, you tend to get well prepared for PE roles and get acquainted with a lot of PE firms through those processes. The team is lean and you get a ton of experience that is much better and more relevant than working at a BB doing cap markets or being one of multiple analysts on huge deals. I think they have a solid rep, but then again I'm in Chicago so I've obviously heard of them.
Yeah but life isn't just about getting into the KKRs of the world. Think too many analysts get enamored by the megafund prestige.
You're implying that to be a great PE associate, you should be at the megafunds. You can be a great PE associate and be at a small shop as well
Fair! we were talking past each other. I deem megafunds / top mm funds to be better exit opps and take this to be self evident, so my comment was that they don't seem to place their consistently. But you can be a good associate in the lmm or at a smaller firm
Then again, there aren't any William Blair analysts at kkr/box/apollo et al so....
Wouldn't make any sense for them to go to a megafund, their sweet spot is middle market and they seem to do well. I've seen their analysts at some sweet MM+ PE funds recently....Vista, providence, GTCR, MDP, Summit, others
Yeah, it looks like they send about one analyst per year to one fund of that magnitude. Not saying it's a bad bank by any means, but just trying to counter the image that it's churning out great pe associates
