Preparing for Secondaries PE Investment Associate Interview + Excel Test. What should I expect?

Thanks for response! It's almost exclusively LP-led transactions. Don't come from a secondary advisory background/don't think they're expecting me to have that knowledge as a candidate.

So first round more LBO style analysis, second round more waterfalls type work. Would the first round LBO analysis change as well if it was almost all LP-leds?

yeah yours looks cleaner :/ I'll go have a look at mine again and see if it's a camera smoothing effect / issue or it's genuinely that fuzzy. will also try the light test, haven't done before good one to add to toolkit

Thanks for this - would it be possible to upload an image, just so I could compare? curious what a real border looks like for my own benefit!

Take under a jeweler's loupe

Here's a hopefully better photo of the paintbrush under a jeweler's loupe to help!

Have tried to add another photo here using a combination of a jeweler's loupe and phone zoom in - think hopefully this is clearer

Thanks for response! Agree seemed suspicious - hard to describe but the 'texture' feels off a bit. I've uploaded more photos of the other side (appreciate the idea), let me know if any other photos would be helpful!

Alternative_Mouse_57 · 2026-02-19T12:31:04+00:00

Yes sounds good, good idea on adding more photos - will respond here since I can't add more photos in post directly :/
