Package Description:
A full-suite preparation program designed to help you navigate and excel in the private equity recruiting process. The program is tailored to your background and goals, but typically includes: ▶️CV Review (offline): Multiple revisions to ensure your CV is polished, competitive, and maximizes your chances of getting shortlisted. ▶️Strategy Session (1h): Define your career goals, target firms, and recruiting approach. ▶️Interview Prep Sessions (3 × 1h): Mock interviews covering technicals, behavioral/fit, and PE-specific case questions. Typically, the first session focuses on fit and fundamentals, while later sessions dive into investment reasoning and deal discussions. ▶️Modeling Case (offline + debrief): A proprietary real-life style take-home modeling test, mirroring the exercises used in actual PE interviews. I’ll review your model offline and then walk you through a live debrief. ▶️Final Debrief Session (30m): Refine your recruiting strategy and finalize preparation (or use for additional interview prep if needed). You’ll also receive real interview questions, proprietary frameworks for investment theses, modeling cases, and supplemental technical materials—at no additional cost. If modeling is a key focus, one interview session can be swapped for an additional modeling case and debrief. Additional interview prep sessions are available at a discounted rate of $170/hour.

Additional details
Coaching delivered via live sessions and .
We’ll begin with your CV, working asynchronously through several rounds of revisions until it’s spotless and aligned with PE standards. The modeling test will also be completed offline, followed by a live session to walk through your approach and debrief in detail. All other sessions will be live and tailored to your needs. While most candidates split their time between “fit” and technical preparation, I’m fully flexible—your time is yours. You decide whether we focus on interview prep, investment cases, career strategy, or networking approaches. My goal is to make sure each session directly strengthens your preparation, builds your confidence, and gets you closer to an offer.
🔹If after our first session you’re not confident I can help you, you may request a full refund—no questions asked. 🔹Sessions can be rescheduled with at least 24 hours’ notice. 🔹I typically respond to new inquiries within 48 hours. Once we begin working together, I make myself fully available to clients, adapting to West Coast, East Coast, European, and Asian time zones.

PE Investment Associate @Pamplona Capital ($15bn AUM)
🚀 Private Equity Career Coaching I bring a rare, 360° perspective on private equity—having sat on every side of the table: ▶️Mega-fund experience as Sr. Associate covering EMEA at Pamplona Capital ($15bn AUM), with multiple offers from top US/UK funds. ▶️Entrepreneur & investor as Founder & Managing Partner of Surca Capital, where I’ve acquired and operated an industrial business hands-on. ▶️Coach & mentor to dozens of candidates who’ve landed offers at the world’s most competitive firms: Apollo, EQT, GS PE, Oaktree, Permira, HIG, Brightstar, K1 IM, among others—in New York, LA, SF, Chicago, London, Frankfurt, Paris, Singapore, and beyond. What I Do: I help candidates—whether seasoned analysts or total newcomers—break into investment banking and private equity by: i) Choosing the right firm, role, and geography. ii) Crafting a sharp CV & cover letter that sells your story. iii) Mastering “fit” and behavioral questions. iv) Acing finance technicals (from paper LBOs to 3-statement models). v) Navigating PE-specific cases (industry discussion, portfolio deep dives, DD steps, defending assumptions). vi) Building investment theses, pitches, and IM reviews. My Edge: ▶️ I’ve been in the seat you’re trying to win. ▶️I know what global mega-funds actually screen for. ▶️I’ve placed candidates ranging from analysts to a student with zero prior work experience into funds managing $10bn+ AUM. Because my main focus is running my own fund, I only take on a handful of clients—but those I do work with get very personal, hands-on guidance. 👉 Book a free 15-minute intro call to see how I can help you position yourself, prep effectively, and land the offer. ❌Cancellation policy - 24hrs in advance
