Position Yourself for PE: Resume Review & Recruiting Roadmap
Start your private equity recruiting process with a clear understanding of how your background will be viewed by investors and how to position yourself effectively. We’ll review your resume in detail, walk through your professional and academic experience, discuss your career goals, and identify the types of PE firms and opportunities that make the most sense for you. This package includes resume review and feedback, a full background walkthrough, assessment of your strengths and potential interview gaps, discussion of target firms and roles, recruiting strategy, and a personalized preparation roadmap. By the end, you’ll know how to position your experience, where you need to improve, and exactly what to focus on as you prepare for PE interviews.
What's included
I take a direct and individualized approach. Rather than giving you a generic PE recruiting checklist, I’ll evaluate your background the way an investor or interviewer would and tell you where your story is compelling, where questions are likely to arise, and how I would approach the process in your position. The goal is to leave our work together with a clear recruiting strategy and preparation plan—not just a better-looking resume.
- Refined resume tailored to PE recruiting

Dan B.
Former PE VP | Deal Execution + Board-Level Experience | $250M → $5B Portco
I’m a former Investment Banker and Private Equity Vice President with experience investing in high-growth software, AI and technology companies, including working on an investment in a company now valued at $5 billion. My PE experience spanned the full investment lifecycle, from sourcing and diligence to financial modeling, deal execution, and portfolio company strategy. My path into private equity wasn’t seamless. I spent close to a year interviewing before breaking in, so I understand firsthand how challenging and frustrating the process can be. Over time, I learned that success goes beyond knowing the technicals—you need to understand how investors think, communicate with conviction, and know what interviewers are actually assessing. I bring experience from both sides of the table and provide direct, practical coaching across IB and PE interviews, technicals, LBOs, case studies, deal discussions, and recruiting strategy.
