“What is my degree of freedom in this role”?

Are the targets already selected by the sponsors and you are executing only?

They have an existing pipeline but after that my role will include sourcing deals and executing (generally small tuck-ins).

What kind of industry? I would get to know the landscape and ask some relevant questions about objectives

Financial services- I’ve worked on similar deals. They’re executing a roll-up strategy with the portco acting as a strategic acquirer.

I don’t have much experience in this. Hope this helps: https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forum/corporate/questions-in-corp-dev-interview

What is the career progression like in PE? At McKinsey where I am now, it’s fairly standardized, about 2-3 years at each level, and up/out model.

Is it up/out as well or can you end up being “stuck” at associate level for 10 years? How likely is it to be promoted, how fast and what happens if you are asked to leave (where do you go next?)
