I have been doing mostly ops/pmo projects at Deloitte and don’t have much knowledge of finance, but somehow got an interview for an associate role at a well respected family office. Interviewer is an MD in direct investments. I have no idea how to prepare and not embarrass myself. Interview is tomorrow. Pls help. 😭

The usual advice is: come up with 2 - 3 investment ideas. That sounds easier than actually done, since I requires a lot of backend research and calculations.

Agree with D: depends on what that family office invests in, it may be better to look for opportunities in established industries. E.g. TSM instead of Intel, Square instead of V, etc

bump pls

What does the description of the job title say your main responsibilities? Modeling? Relationship building? Portfolio ops? Could be a wide range of things.

I have an MHA and 4 years of management experience. I’m currently a manager, but seeking a director level position. Any advice for trying to temper my expectations? I feel like all director level positions have 5 years in the posting, but a lot of my peers with the same experience are already in director level positions. Are they just lucky? Am I jumping the gun? Do I just need to stick it out?
