So
you have finally received that interview call from the PE firm in Mumbai.
Great, congrats! But now you’re worried sick about what exactly they are going
to grill you on. Will you be asked to pitch stocks or be required to build a
full-blown DCF model in an hour?
Well,
if you know what PE is, then you know you won’t be pitching stocks in the
interview; but yeah, that DCF model with multiple scenarios is fair game. And
now that I have successfully scared you about IB/PE interviews (if you still aren't scared, you should be –
thinking back on my own interview experiences still gives me the chills),
let’s talk about just what happens in IB & PE interviews. In Part II, we’ll see how we can
come out of these grilling sessions alive and in one piece.
Like
any other industry, there’s no fixed rule for the interview process. However, there
are certain parts of the interview process that you will find in all IB and PE
interviews. In keeping with the theme of the blog, this post will give you a true sneak-peak
into the interview process at most firms.
