Hi friends,
I have an informational interview with a senior person at a PE fund tomorrow (fellow alum). Currently prepping and coming up with questions to ask him about the industry/fund. Without giving too much away it’s a MM fund that is consultant friendly and does a lot of add-ons. Would welcome any smart questions to add to my list. Thanks!!
