What were the toughest buyside interviews you have had?

Citadel and Coatue were brutal.

Anyone know much about the start up scene in E Africa? I hear a lot of general talk about how it’s ‘booming’ but can’t find much information online. I’m in a weird position where I’m trying to switch into tech but am moving to Kampala for the next year. I am applying now to remote jobs in the U.S. but would love to connect with companies operating in the region.

Is it really that difficult to get hired for a federal job? I was interviewed for a GS12 job but never heard back, they still didn’t hire anyone and I didn’t get a rejection. I applied for another GS07 job, was accepted, I took it, but I believe I can do better. I have a master’s and have extra graduate research experience. I am still applying to new jobs but I was told it is impossible to move up the grade level now. Everyone is telling me to stick with the government. What are your thoughts?

I’m trying to secure a role in GCP Strategy and Operations team in USA.

Anybody willing to refer me for LEK?

Learned an interesting lesson today: don’t mention wanting to go into government at some point in the future in a biglaw job interview. Had a callback where I mentioned a desire to be an AUSA. They passed on my candidacy apparently because of it.

Hi Fishes,
During my whole career I have given my first interview on last Saturday (18th June) in a different company.
Could you please let me know how I'll be notified I'm selected or not? Or normally how days I need to wait for their further communications? it is a right way to email the recruiting HR about my selection status or interview status after the normal waiting time?
Thanks in advance.

Sr. associate comp (IR/BD) @ $10bn+ AUM PE/HF? NYC

I’m a new analyst at a PE firm, and my associate keeps blaming me for things she does wrong. Like she will tell me I made the wrong change, even though she is the one who changed it. Or in calls with other people, she won’t take responsibility for things that she told me to do that the other person calls out as wrong. How can I handle this situation without making her mad but also not letting her step all over me?

Got an offer from a secondaries group in a PE firm in SF (<1B latest fund). Had 200 all-in comp in consulting (80%+ coming from base) and bumping up to 230 soon. PE firm is offering 120 base + 90 bonus for Associate position. Does this transition make sense if I ultimately want to become an investor / work in PE? Goal was traditional PE, but no luck there so far with interviews. Also not sure if offer $ is in typical ballpark of what you can expect in MM PE in SF?
