I bring firsthand experience across two mid-market private equity funds in the DACH region - including a successful full-time recruiting process that resulted in multiple investment team offers straight out of university.
Direct mid-market teams are lean, which makes timing and fit critical. I can help you understand:
- Internship-to-full-time conversion cycles and how firms tend to structure them
- Investment team staffing needs, and how they shift with fund lifecycle
- A firm's recruiting posture—whether they're in fundraising, active deployment, or between funds
Having lived through multiple fund cycles myself (end-of-fund, active fundraising, and several closings), I can help you read a firm's likely hiring needs and budget at any given point.
And having navigated the full-time recruiting process successfully, I can coach you through what matters: case studies, technical interview questions, and financial modeling.
