[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 220785, member: 42112"] Hi! Just to add to the other great replies - I interviewed for their spring vacation scheme last year, and I thought I'd share a few additional tips that might be helpful. I'd recommend reviewing your original application before the interview as I was asked several questions about my academics, work experience, and extra-curricular activities that I had mentioned in the form. This information will likely be fresh in your mind anyway, but it's worth revisiting any specific examples or experiences that you highlighted. Also, if you plan to use commercial terms, make sure you can clearly explain what they mean. As others have said, it's important to understand private equity (both in practice and more generally) give the firm's strong presence in that market. In my interview, I was challenged on my viewpoints and asked to unpack key concepts, so having a solid understanding going in really helps. Overall, it felt like the interviewers were genuinely keen to learn more about my experiences and motivations for PW so I'd try not to worry too much (easier said than done, I know!). As long as you are able to reflect on your past experiences, discuss your motivations for the firm, and display commercial awareness, you'll be fine! Best of luck for the interview :) [/QUOTE]
