If you reach that point you've probably done all the technicals etc. So it's more or less conversation about you for 15 minutes, but sometimes they don't even ask questions directly it's more like "So why are you here" and that entails answering about who you are but ALSO why you want to work there. So you have to combine your answers and cut them down as well cause you can't ramble on for 5 minutes. But from my experience, the questions were all behavioral trying to learn about your personality. I've never had a bran teaser and hope I will never get one cause I'm terrible at them but that could happen. Otherwise, I recommend doing research on the actual person aka what deals they have done, what industry they operate in, for instance, if they are in HC Services then learn aboutPEconsolidation, trends in that area, and form your own opinions of those things. You can ask about the Medicare CMS cuts to physicians and if you think that will affectPE兴趣。在大多数情况下,他们给问题留下了很大的一部分,这是您可以区分自己的东西。尽量不要问饼干切口问题,而是问小众问题有关他们的专业知识,并有能力将其塑造成一些对话。例如阅读交易,监管变化,著名的事件等。这样,您就可以询问他们对行业如何影响行业以及他们领导的一些交易的想法。希望这可以帮助。

说得通!当我解释时,访谈将包括案件和一些小问题。但是,很高兴知道您从未收到过大脑预告片。

我不知道会采访我的实际合作伙伴,所以研究他们当地的办公室专门研究以及他们最近做了什么样的项目会更有意义吗?

Yes I would definitely look into what the local office does and do research into that area so you can speak about it at a high-level. As the comment below me mentions as well you may get some questions just simply about your interests. In one SD I ended up speaking about Hockey for 5 minutes and why I was taking the interview in the UAE for 10 and ended up getting an offer.

根据我的经验,合作伙伴的采访与其他采访大不相同,老实说,我一直最喜欢他们。

High-level

Expect those interviews to involve fewer technicals and more questions related to the bigger picture - do you really understand the strategic component and can make sense of the rationale behind a deal/project

why would they do this deal?

industry trends?

Motivational

In my experience, the seniors really focus if you are intrinsically motivated or if you are just a guy that's hear because you heard you can make some $$$. Make sure to be able to tie motivational questions back to your personal experience and CV.

Misc

With senior interviews, they are all different. It is not structured and people tend to ask what they are interested in. Example: one partner asked about mypbin a 100m sprint at high school; another wanted to hear more about voluntary engagements and really kept going on about one of her relatives being some social workers etc etc. While this is often a big part of the interview, it cannot really be prepared. Just make sure you are relaxed and don't try to impress them to the Max with every answer. This should be more of a laid back conversation where you can also sprinkle in questions about them.

Edit: phone formatting sucks

Thanks! That was my interpretation as well, that seniors do not really care if you perform way better in the second round of cases, but are more keen on seeing how you interact in different situations. Taking it from you, I think I will just be prepared for the similar stuff in terms of cases, but still keep in mind that it might be my personality that will be evaluated mostly in the end.
