I’ve just went through a very tough interview process at a top BB - the hiring MD wants to call me tomorrow. Is this a good sign?

Additionally, I’m also recruiting for a top PE shop. If given the chance, I’d perhaps take the PE offer, but am afraid that if I receive an offer from the BB, it may expire before I finish the process at the PE shop.

How should I respond to a (hopeful) offer given by the BB tomorrow?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Is the BB position IB or a strategy role?

Tell them you need time to sit on it or something along those lines. Truthfully, there's no guarantee but you definitely don't get blacklisted this way. Finance is a small world and you really don't want to piss people off by reneging

How much more time do you need for the PE offer? Accept IB and reneg if you get PE?

I’d need another week or two

I really don’t want to burn bridges with this MD - he’s had a long career working with PE firms, and likely has (direct/indirect) connections to the firm I’m interviewing with.

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?
