Built for the PE recruiting journey

Whether you're on-cycle or off-cycle, PEPath has you covered.

On-Cycle Recruiting

On-cycle PE recruiting is a sprint — from first headhunter call to offer can happen in 24-48 hours. PEPath ensures you're prepared before the gun fires with pre-built flashcard decks, paper LBO practice, and a complete question bank covering every topic interviewers test.

Off-Cycle Opportunities

Off-cycle recruiting at mid-market and growth equity funds is a marathon. PEPath's pipeline tracker and headhunter CRM help you stay organized across months of conversations, case studies, and multi-round processes at firms across the market.

Paper LBO Mastery

Paper LBOs are the defining test of PE interviews. PEPath provides 10 prompts testing different mechanics — from basic FCF builds to back-solving for capex cushion, margin expansion, dividend recaps, and leverage sensitivity analysis. Each with full P&L waterfall answers.

Headhunter Strategy

Getting on headhunter lists is essential for PE recruiting. PEPath's directory of 15+ verified headhunter firms includes contact information, fund coverage details, and tactical outreach tips — from SG Partners and CPI to Oxbridge, Henkel, and specialist recruiters.

From IB to PE

The IB-to-PE transition is the most common path into private equity. PEPath's curriculum covers how to reframe your banking experience, present deals like an investor, and articulate a compelling "why PE" narrative that resonates with interviewers.

Technical Interview Deep Dive

PE technical interviews test LBO mechanics, accounting fundamentals, valuation methodologies, and deal judgment. PEPath's 300+ question bank covers every category with model answers, key points to hit, and common mistakes that sink candidates.
