These podcasts are really helpful! Great questions
Ben been killing it lately bringing these conversations to the masses. Keep it up!
🙌
PE is soul crushing
Loving these
The questions are great. The answers match the quality of the questions. Thank you so much.
This is great! Lots of insights
Ben, thank you for these! The conversations are great and your level of preparation for the discussions shines through. Would be great if you could speak with someone at Wharton with hedge fund/public markets experience. Keep up the great work and wishing you all the best!
Loved the video
Could you ask PE guys what they look for in diligence, as well as how they ranked PE firms going into on-cycle and what informed those decisions ie (geography, fund strategy, sector/industry focus, etc)
Awesome videos. Love from India!
this is great thank you
Nice interview ben
Thank you!
Thanks bro, your content gave me more insight to break into investment banking and PE. My question is. Do we have to get CFA certoficate to break into them
I really enjoyed this podcast, the conversation was engaging. Since Connor interned at a search fund and it sort of helped him in his career, you should interview a former search fund entrepreneur who is currently CEO. I am a searcher myself and my private banking days have helped me raise a search fund. Loving the channel Ben!
My suggestion is basically interview someone who has already bought a company with their search fund 🙂
I meant that you should bring someone who bought a company with their search fund :)
Great video! but the timestamp titles seem to not match the content 😮
Is it true that most talents go to tech instead of finance now?
You should interview someone who went directly to private equity from college.
will try to find someone like that
What degree is best for private equity hiring- math degree, accounting degree, business degree, management degree, electrical engineering degree?
primary major in finance or accounting 100%; double major in either international bus, business intelligence, statistics, mathematics. minor is optional imo unless @ not super known school, fill it with one of the options up there^. focus on extracurricular like case studies, clubs etc. through ur uni.
although it is about the degree overall, its about how you apply it & ur experience that makes u valuable, if that makes sense lol. employers look, for example, at if u worked as a cashier (works with money), started an llc, relevant classes, if you invest. whats ur experience is what they want. hope this helps & good luck!
How old was he when graduate BYU?
Ben:Thank you¡¡
33:40 incredibly based
PE FTW!
👏
Interviewee could have actually provided hours range
will try to push for this more in future interviews
I find it hard to believe that a 9 year old was fascinated by purchasing a stock
8th grade…
@@paullee9982 Point stands.
13-14 years old
You say, "Im curious to know" almost everytime every interview, id stay away from it. Keep these casual
Apex nice white guy from byu
Junk, random chat by very junior people, nothing accomplished, except being a small cog in a big wheel.
who hurt u
lmao they're gonna be making more money than you ever will
