re: Interview tips for a Private Equity internship

What is your email. I will explain the lows and other aspects to give you a seasoned perspective. I have a non finance background plus don't want to offend anyone on the board.

I work for a small firm using the search fund model. I have done everything from sourcing , executive summary,and when the time comes modeling , due diligence , financial analysis and post merger integration. Will say the work I have done in PE is fun. To me the way the industry is trending is why I want to get the hell out along with lows.

The trend I am seeing is your "typical PE firm" only has investors best interest in mind and mainly looks at improving business by cutting cost and improving sales. What I am seeing is the amount of buyers in the market outweigh is much greater than companies with potential value.

Just seems that many firms don't focus on improving value and operations ( investors playing puppet master) which is what improves the selling price.

Good luck with the core of your sales pitch being this " We are appreciate the amount of time and effort to create this semi under valued company. While you have built great relationships with the community and employee we would love to offer you a large sum of money to buy your company than sell it in 3-5 years to some strategic buyer who could even care less about your time and effort to build this company than I do"
