Looking for coaches with experience in preparing for Private Equity case interviews

Hi all - I am a banker looking for some coaching to prepare for a Private Equity case interview. I have already passed a modelling test, so the case study will be focused on the Commercial analysis of a potential acquisition target. The format will be: receiving IM type of information, with a bit of info on the company and a few simple financials, a couple of hours to prepare and then present to give a recommendation on whether the team should spend time on the opportunity or not. Please let me know if you have experience in preparing for this type of interviews. Thank you!

Hi there,

I helped a few candidates to prepare for PE interviews for the case part, the most recent landed an offer from Bain Capital.

The format you described is similar to the structure for a written case - I helped a good number of candidates to prepare for that format as it is common for some consulting companies as well. Please feel free to PM me for additional information.

Best,
Francesco

Hey, I have recently helped candidates prepare for M&A/ Deals case study for Big4. So there is a fair degree of overlap. Feel free to message and we can discuss a prep plan for you.

I have done a few PE case interviews with some of the global large cap funds before and so feel free to reach out. Below is an (slightly date but still relevant) article I read back then which I found insightful:

Hi,

If anyone is looking for help preparing for PE interviews (with PE firms) or for PE practice in MBB - I'm happy to help as well. 

I spent ~2.5 years in BCG's PIPE practice so have a good understanding of PE work.
