Track
Private Equity
Paid stage
Private equity hires mainly from banking and consulting analyst seats, through a process run by search firms that publishes almost nothing. This track covers the business, the on cycle and off cycle reality, the modeling test, the paper LBO, and investment judgment, labeled as general guidance wherever firms publish nothing.
Inside this stage
- The business in plain terms: funds, buyouts, growth equity, and the routes in
- On cycle and off cycle recruiting and the headhunter layer, described carefully
- The interview system: timed modeling tests, deal discussion, take homes, partner fit
- LBO modeling at working speed: build order, simplifications, fatal errors
- The paper LBO, worked end to end with the five move method
- Investment judgment: what makes a business buyable and how to discuss risk
- Positioning from banking and consulting seats, and the undergraduate trajectory
The briefings in this stage open with full access, a resume review tier, or an active membership. Stage 0 and Stage 1 are free, and the first briefing in Case Math and in the Accounting, LBO, and Modeling track is free.
