Why You? Building Your PE Interview Story

PE interviews spend surprisingly little time on modeling and a lot of time on one question: why you, why this fund, why now. Candidates who clear the technical screen still stumble here because they haven't built a story that connects their background to a specific investing thesis. This workshop breaks down how to frame your path, your deal experience (or lack of it), and any non-traditional background into something a partner remembers. Adam has sat on both sides of PE interviews and has a clear read on what separates a forgettable answer from one that gets a candidate to the next round. If you're prepping for first rounds or still shaping how you talk about yourself, this is a chance to pressure-test that story before it matters.
