Consultant 1 dropping excellent knowledge, echo all of what they said. Basically have clear answers to all of these:
1. Why PE or investing for you?
2. Why you for PE or investing?
3. What kind of PE or investing? (City, stage, sector, size of team, etc)
4. Questions to ask them: team size, mix of sourcing / diligence / portfolio, comp, career progression (incl MBA), IC process, fundraising status, etc

Be prepared to introduce yourself, talk about the Deal experience you have (DDs I guess, although Portfolio work could be valuable too), sectors you are interested in / have more experience at, etc. Do you know to which funds they are hiring for? If yes research about them. If not, have an idea if you want deal team or portfolio, Private equity or Growth equity, industry focused funds (Tech like Hg Capital, Vitruvian, Consumer like L Catterton, Verlinvest, Industrial…) or generalists (Advent, KKR, Carlyle etc)

Thanks!

I applied for a lateral job in a growing group that doesn’t have associates yet. I talked to a sr. associate in a different office/group to get a better sense of the firm’s vibe and we both really enjoyed our call. He kindly offered to recommend an interview to HR. Is there anything else I can do? I would be switching practices altogether so I want to be as proactive as possible to know what I’m getting myself into (and make my app more favorable because I really want to break into the field).
