924 private equity associate interview questions shared by candidates

First round was fit questions such as background, why BCG, why private equity, asked my about relevant experience in the past such as gathering data and analyzing it. Second round was a 45 min M&A case with hiring manager and we jumped right into the case before anything. Case was about a PE group client looking to enter the pet food suppler industry and interviewer asked what my thoughts were on it. Talked about the market size, vendors, ratios on how much each vendor supplied premium pet food and then finished the case by talking about trends for the market and if I thought the client should enter the market.
