Comprehensive mock interview prep - private equity
If you would like to practice a technical mock interview and paper LBO, a behavioural interview or a combination based on which tier you choose to make you stand out in your first-round interviews, then this package is for you. The 1-hour session will be split into three parts: (1) 40-minutes - at the start of the session we will immediately jump into the mock interview to mimic the real-life interview format as closely as possible. I will take you through a standard analyst or associate interview format (2) 10-minutes - after the mock interview I will provide actionable feedback on your performance and give you key areas of prep that you should spend time on (based on the time you have before your actual interview) (3) 10-minutes - final 10-minutes to walk through any questions you have Note: the mock interview materials I share are based on real-life interviews I have conducted or interviewed for myself. I have had clients who have been the only ones to get through first round interviews at top PE funds after working with me on this.
What's included
- A clear understanding of technical interview and paper LBO format
- Feedback on your performance and clear action plan for preparing for the next interview
- Overview of how technical interviews and your performance is evaluated by funds
