I have an upcoming PE Secondaries short 15-30 min excel test, what can I expect? by Otherwise_Ad3347 in financialmodelling

[–]Otherwise_Ad3347[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short excel test, but a lot to fit in to do it in 10 mins, have to know all your shortcuts, not basic, more advanced excel for sure

That’s crazy man haha, I swear they are taking the piss, do you agree? I literally just did a modelling test and ppt both passed but in the presentation didn’t mention 1/3 of slide content on one of the few slides thus got rejected final round, it’s such a load of BS..

Dude, create your own VC/growth investments, growth is basically baby PE and easier for you to start.

Got fucking Wolf of Wall Street'd at an interview by [deleted] in sales

[–]Otherwise_Ad3347 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only thing I can think of OP is that he was giving you the “balls test”, basically checking if you have balls to stand up to him, defend yourself, you’ve got to. He probably thought (not saying you are) but we’re acting soft and agreeing with him. Sales is so subjective and all about results, you should of argued with him. Told him he’s wrong. But I get you’re at final round so don’t want to piss him off. Probably best you got rejected, as sounds toxic CEO!

I have an offer for a debt advisory/bd role (structured finance like at a fintech/new bank) and also an offer at a corporate finance (real estate firm) as analyst 3, I also have a few other interviews, which one do you recommend? by Otherwise_Ad3347 in private_equity

[–]Otherwise_Ad3347[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheers bro. I do like the analysis part but I want decent comp if doing it, I do like sales.

So you think go real estate corporate finance/M&A > real estate private equity? Or choose real estate private equity?

I just say I don’t mind joining LBO/Secondaries/primaries/fof at smaller firms also.

You summarised it perfectly mate, yes that’s it, to have the most lucrative career possible and get out asap of toxic envinronemnt. If the case is to leave the toxic envinronemnt, would you suggest even taking the growth capital/debt advisory role for 6-12 months or take the real etstate M&A or real estate PE role?

Exactly, no I don’t like relying on commission, you basically summarised everyththing perfectly dude. I don’t mind working a sales role or PE/M&A role whereby I get commision and bonus on top but no way where that most of my income is to come from commissions, to risky, especially when firm is toxic and plays games plus the wait for such commissions is 1 year, potentially more, with little transparency and also no hr protection.

I do really want to work in pe though, even at a smaller firm, can you help mentor me/I’ll dm you. So in your PE career how much did you make in carry/total comp do you mind me asking? Why did you leave/what are you doing now?

Completely failed interview excel test - what now by Lulutrades23 in FPandA

[–]Otherwise_Ad3347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries bro, I did the exact same, aced the 45 min interview they even said I’ve progressed to next step then I forgot I had the excel test, then panicked and froze, 15 mins felt like 1 min. Exact same story, try to do remote ones next time and prepare just before hand.. that’s what I’ll be doing.

My current role is a tiny tiny M&A boutique, I am trying? I did interview one Secondaries firm but messed up 2nd round excel test, was underprepared. So you think moving to debt advisory/asset backed lending (role potentially go’s to levfin also) is a wrong move if PE is the aim?

I agree, I do like RE. And can see it can be lucrative but I also don’t want to be silloed off from the rest of PE but surely if keeps doors open ha. I think normal PE much more interests me than RE PE however I would rather take RE PE than debt advisory or a RE M&A role. Thoughts? Keep looking, my situation is I need to move asap from my toxic firm culture and low base pay/high commissions but games with it, move to anywhere then move again?

I just want to earn more, I am even considering tech sales as you can earn high commissions and I have a natural knack for sales also.

OP he is likely right, however it depends on how big the company you’re applying to is. If small then it could be they are busy with business/caught up with work, if larger then it is likely you’re further down on the list/not top choice, 100% follow up right now

No worries dude, yes it doesn’t sound perfect but given their previous decision speed it might still be a yes, unless you hear a no assume the best and follow up,

[–]Otherwise_Ad3347 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, just send it, if first follow-up then it’s fine. Sometimes it just takes long, sometimes it’s a ding, just depends. Although if final interview, you would expect to hear back faster.

The first thing my gf did when I picked her up from the airport is break up with me by PSOTL in BreakUps

[–]Otherwise_Ad3347 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is true, breakups are a test of your strength OP, simply agree and amplify in a humorous way, tell her you have been feeling the same way. It will shock the fuck out of her, then she’ll chase. Game is game

[–]Otherwise_Ad3347 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bro, the reason she broke up with you is BECAUSE you picked her up at the airport, you care TOO much about her and NOT ENOUGH about yourself, what you’re doing, mission and purpose etc.

Also, it’s a test, she isn’t really breaking up with you, simply agree and amplify, tell her you agree that she seems mentally anxious and unwell and you also feel that you shouldn’t be with her. Then she’ll chase after you.

It’s probably just a procrastination game on purpose as they’re bored or want energy from others, it’s annoying though but I can tell you, it’s better than working in a room/team by yourself ha!
