Don't let your questions go unanswered. Do an "informational interview."

We provide the inside edge during your job search process:

1.) Career guidance before you research industries and specific firms. You may be wondering:
  • Does someone from my background have a legitimate shot at a top hedge fund job?
  • What is a VC associate's day-to-day work like?
  • How competitive is the private equity job search process?
  • Which PE shops are "sweat shops?"
  • I'm not from a finance background - is it worth switching careers at this point?
  • How can I best position my resume to get an interview spot?

2.) Interview tips before you start interviewing with particular firms. You may be wondering:
  • What type of questions should I expect in a private equity interview?
  • Will hedge funds give me "brainteaser" questions?
  • How should I prepare for "pitching" a long or short idea for a hedge fund interview?
  • Will a VC firm expect me to discuss a startup that excites me?
  • How do early stage and growth stage VC interviews differ?
  • Should I wear a suit to interviews with seed stage VC firms?

3.) Inside scoop on firm culture, style, and compensation before you accept an offer. You may be wondering:
  • Is VC still a great career path if I'm not offered a partner-track role?
  • How should I decide between competing offers from multiple private equity firms?
  • What are the "do's and don'ts" I should know before starting at a hedge fund?
  • What's it like to be a female at a male-dominated hedge fund?
