LBO modeling, etc

Be ready to build out an LBO model as well as walk through case studies involving investment recommendations / business improvement initiatives. Depending on the size of the fund, they may want to see how you think about the value creation / strategy aspect of private equity. Imo that’s probably the biggest gap between public and private equity experience.
