Private Equity Interview Guide — Preview
$0.00
This preview gives you a first look inside our Private Equity Interview Questions & Answers Guide, showing the level of depth, structure, and judgment expected in real PE interviews.
Rather than surface-level definitions, the preview walks through how interviewers expect candidates to explain concepts, justify trade-offs, and think like an investor — not a student.
If you’ve ever felt like you “knew the answer” but struggled to explain it the right way, this preview shows you exactly what PE firms are listening for.
What’s Included in This Preview
This preview includes select excerpts covering:
-
How PE interviewers expect you to explain IRR vs. MOIC
-
Common IRR weaknesses candidates are expected to mention
-
How firms evaluate leverage trade-offs when IRRs are equal
-
Why EBITDA matters in private equity (and not just the definition)
-
Core EBITDA adjustments PE firms make in diligence
-
Why PE firms use EV/EBITDA instead of P/E
Each section is written in interview-ready language, structured the way a strong associate or VP would answer — clear, concise, and commercially grounded.
