I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Lightyear Capital
Interview
There were several rounds that included interviews with associates, senior associates, VPs and MDs. Difficult LBO modeling and financial/accounting technical interview questions. There were also culture/fit questions which were useful
The interview consisted of multiple rounds, first with more junior members of the firm and then subsequent meetings with the entire investment committee. The conversations consisted of general behavioral questions that gauged my fit with the firm and practical questions to talk through potential investment scenarios
