What It's REALLY Like Working in Private Equity! (Highs & Lows, Day in the Life, Recruiting Tips)

[Music] hey everyone it's Ben here and today I'm going to be interviewing my Wharton classmate pavin Patel and he went to undergrad at Penn and then worked at Bain Capital and then CI Capital Partners in private equity and so in today's episode we're going to be talking about his experience in private Equity how to break into the industry and then also some thoughts about NBA life and what it's been like so far so hope you all enjoy and also if you want to listen to this more on the go you can download this as a podcast under regular good careers on Spotify Apple music or wherever you get your podcast and with that said let's jump into the interview but why don't we just jump straight into it uh so Poppin can you kind of give us an overview of your background yeah sure so uh grew up in Rochester New York uh my parents actually were born in India and moved to the US started a bunch of their small companies um and I went to Penn for undergrad I spent a couple years at Bain Capital working as a private credit analyst and then spent two years at CI working in private equity and then in this last interim year before I started business school I worked at a healthcare startup called Hazel health go ahead and can you tell us a little bit more about your private uh private credit role sure so um Bain Capital uh I worked as a private credit analyst as I mentioned when uh so private credit for I guess for folks who are uh unfamiliar with it is when a private Equity company buys another company they usually get debt on the business and that debt is funded by uh folks who work in private credit and so it's similar to private Equity just different risk profile of what you um end up investing in and then also it allows you to typically do more deals um uh throughout the year sorry and then what was your experience in CI Capital Partners is it CI Capital Partner Capital yeah um so that was capital is a Buy and Build Shop so what that means is you buy typically a platform company we focus on Business Services um and then you buy a lot of other add-ons across and so you can hopefully make um uh some synergies by buying a larger company along with tacking on small companies on top of it so CI capital is a little more operationally focused we worked with smaller um we bought some exercise companies and so got to work with a lot of Founders which was super exciting and interesting can you tell us a bit about how your experience at Bain Capital kind of bridged uh your ability to get into private Equity yeah sure so a lot of the work at Bain Capital working on the private credit side taught me how to think about businesses and fundamental fundamentally how to think about investing and so I had the opportunity to work with some really awesome mentors some really awesome companies and then also build up I would say the technical skill set of understanding how to model right memos and then also more of kind of just business judgment and I think both of those things both technically of how to get you know models and memos written and done uh combined with thinking about business judgment helped me um or say get into CI capital and then also um business school and other jobs now you mentioned something in there about meeting a lot of really great role models and people bosses that you could kind of learn a lot from can you tell us about one or two that come to mind that you really feel like you learned a lot from yeah sure so I would say uh when I was first starting off I actually did an internship while I was in school at um at Bain Capital and one of the the VPS there was super helpful for me I think she took a lot of time to explain how how the investing process works and I think that's something that I really respect a lot because I knew she was very busy and she took time out to to basically sit with me and and tell and show me the steps I'd also say there's a lot of folks who or even just a year or two senior um both at Bain Capital and at CI Capital who helped me show me the kind of nuts and bolts of how to do some of the technical analysis um and so I say say both of those you know groups of people the folks who are just right above me and then folks who were many years out who kind of took just even you know an hour during the week to to sit down and kind of walk me through how some of this stuff works all right so they spent their time to really teach you and show you the ropes but was there anything in particular about the people who you worked with or your bosses or colleagues who you really respected like what kind of personality traits did they have or what were they really special kind of bosses so I would say I would say that um the the bosses that I really learned a lot from are the folks who would explain why we needed to do something and so I think a lot of times in jobs or work there's there's a maybe a disconnect of information and so the boss can see something that's really important but it's not evident to maybe the analysts or the associates and I think that the time that they spent saying hey the reason why I needed we need to do this analysis is because this is how it fits in the larger puzzle or the larger piece and having that knowledge for me as an associate or an analyst then just made me a much better investor and so I think that that just step of explaining why something is important uh and why they're requesting for some analysis both makes you more invested in the work and then also made me uh I think a sharper um investor and get a little bit more business judgment overall got it and I actually remember when I was in banking a lot of my most senior Bankers were like a lot of they were kind of like good salesmen at the end of the day when you get to the senior levels in private Equity you're uh I don't know if you call them Partners yeah um what were their personalities like were they more extroverted or introverted or were they like also kind of sales here were they really focused on be good investors because it's kind of a different ball game than banking I think it's it's you still so sales is is important um but it you're kind of the person that you're selling to is a little bit different than right you're actually selling to a Founder so a lot of times you need to sit across a table and you maybe if you're visiting you know I don't know um uh a smaller size business you maybe wouldn't dress up fully in a suit or a tie right and so I think it's you want to make sure that you're approachable and that you can actually relate to someone because these people spend their lives building up these businesses from the ground up and you're coming in you want to purchase it and you also want to help them grow and move to the next phase and so it's very important for you to relate to someone on a personal level um and I think that's part of the investing process so you can have certainly the skills of the hard skills that are very important of how to think about a cassette modeling or writing memos or thinking about investment thesis and risk but at the end of the day the private Equity business is uh you know you're relating to very people-oriented business and so you want to make sure you can connect with people from kind of all different walks and backgrounds and on the note of skills that you built so besides the technical part which I think is a given when you go into private Equity uh what are some of the more personal or other professional skills that you feel like you gained from your career so far so I'd say personally um managing a lot of different work streams um so one of my bosses had kind of explain the private Equity industry as a way of having a bunch of puzzle pieces and putting them together to make a puzzle that's kind of how deal making works and being able to look at the hot the the bigger picture and then also understanding um managing different work streams um that are very disparate was a skill that I that I think I developed outside of I guess maybe just some of the hard skills and how is that can you give us an example of how you've applied that kind of now in your life yeah sure so um we're Ben and I are both in business school now um there's a lot of competing priorities both academically socially career oriented and I think having the opportunity to to work through some I guess deals where I had uh where I was all work related but different parts has allowed me here in business school and I think elsewhere to say okay if there's five or six things that I have that that's going on this is what I want to pull together and this is what I want to focus on at this time and then be able to kind of context switch and switch between different areas and Switching gears a little bit but still on the same topic of private Equity I think a lot of people are curious to know what a day in the life of like a private Equity associate looks like so I was wondering if you could kind of give us like almost like an hourly ish or just in periods and phases of what you kind of work on throughout the day yeah sure so um you know I think high level um there's kind of three big buckets of what the work requires one is thinking kind of business or deal judgment right so thinking about this is a good business versus Bad Business and why uh number two is kind of the execution so this is when you decide that you are going to pursue purchasing a business then there's all that's kind of the managing different work streams where you you put all the pieces together and I would say the third is portfolio work so once you buy a company um you want to make sure that you as an investor are really helping uh the founder and the team grow and kind of handling kind of the nuts and bolts of that I'd say from a kind of more hourly basis um typically I'd get you know start my day around 9 ish in the morning uh eight or nine and review emails um again the days are actually very different depending on if you're on a live deal that's that's going to close or if you're not and so I think uh it would be a combination of kind of any of those three three pieces um that would change got it and this is kind of a more of a maybe hot take-ish test question but um you know a lot of times people view the finance industry overall as something where it doesn't necessarily like add value to society and so what is your kind of take on that how does Private Equity uh how did you feel about working in like this kind of industry I guess and you know actually being in banking formally myself I actually do understand how Investment Banking firms do provide value to their clients I'm curious to know about the private Equity side though yeah so I think I think that um uh I think the priority firms actually do add a meaningful amount of value and if they're especially if they're done done well if we think about what Founders are really good at and business owners they're really good at building businesses right um they may not have the expertise on let's say acquiring other businesses or expanding into a new market or supercharging their growth private Equity firms offer one um certainly capital or a lot of money to support this growth and then two if if a firm has had the opportunity for example to you know take businesses from I don't know 10 million to 100 million or whatever the numbers is build you know let's say 20 30 40 in businesses from that from the smallest state to a large stage they had this idea of how that playable could work out um and so I think there's there's value one and just offering expertise in terms of financial expertise um outside you know not just the money but also like buying other businesses or providing um and then strategic expertise being able to go into new markets or new products and then I would say third is is certainly just an influx of capital that shows them hey like these are some things we've seen in the past that has helped other businesses of your caliber uh we really think we can take you along the journey I think another thing to really remember is that um a lot of private Equity firms will give either options or uh Equity to their management team and so you you know everyone kind of is able to share in that that growth I think yeah and while there is a lot of incentives that you give to everyone who kind of joins like a new investment deal so like if the management incentives and whatnot there are also times where you have to let go of Key Management when it seems like they're not the right fit um so I'm wondering if you saw anything that was like challenging during your time um or anything that kind of tested uh your I guess just view on whether or not this was like the right thing was there anything like that or was there just like just not really not really for me I think um not really for me I think that there's been kind of General business challenges and there's there's you know you there's times where you want to take the business in a different direction but typically we've been very favorable that management has been on board for these things um and they're they're actually the ones leading a lot of the charge right it's at the end of the day it's it's they're the ones who are running the company and we are kind of um a supporter to that growth and so um yeah I I personally haven't had much experience with that okay yeah that makes sense because at the end of the day if you accept the private Equity investment there's like a board of directors and investment or management team that has to like accept that investment um okay and then I'm curious to know a lot of times there are a lot of people who want to break into Finance banking private Equity private equity in particular is kind of seen as like a Holy Grail in a sense in the finance world and so I was wondering there's like a glamor to the industry but then there's of course with every job there's times when you have to like roll up your sleeves and do things that other people don't necessarily want to do especially when you're just like starting off in your career so I was wondering if you could kind of give us any insights you have about the industry that people don't know about about the kind of unglamorous parts of the job yeah I'd say one thing is um well I one thing is that you will have to do a lot of work and sometimes you make deals may fall through which is kind of the nature of the um the business right there's a lot of competition there's a lot of the founder may not take your money or they may want to go with someone else but they may you know hold the business and you do get invested with uh because you spend a decent amount of time thinking about the business you you spend time with the founders and the management team and so there are times where um you know you do a lot of this work and it and it doesn't pan out uh the deal doesn't close and that's I think something that's just important to know um was there anything in terms of like the the more detailed work that you're doing anything like you know on a work streams that you had to do that you didn't really enjoy was everything kind of like okay I think it was honestly so I think one I like get very excited about thinking about investing and thinking about businesses and so like I mentioned I think the beginning was if you're able to undersee the bigger picture of why you're doing the work which I think a lot of my really great bosses was able to share with me then you you know there you should only have to work hard but a lot of that work you can see is is moving towards in a direction that is going to be really useful and hopefully uh for the company and for both the private Equity Firm and then also the company and so I think that just understanding that hey this piece of analysis or this memo that I'm writing or doing is contributing to this bigger picture um has been uh you know really helps a lot I think and kind of getting rid of uh maybe some unwanted work yeah if you can see the purpose of why you're doing things it definitely helps I remember when I was in painting working on some like marketing books and having my MDS telling me to work on things that had we were always just like why why are we doing this and those would be the worst actually um and I was also curious to know about the flip side so um not the unglamorous parts but maybe the parts that you really enjoyed yeah any key accomplishments or what you really just enjoyed about the job yeah so I I think my favorite part was sitting across the table um you know you know in my 20s with some amazing entrepreneurs who have built businesses and I think that's that's incredibly exciting right you get to hear their story you get to think and then and then if you end up purchasing the company which um we you know we've done and I was on uh was able to sit in on on some of the board meetings and then also speak with the CEO of the CFO one-on-one on certain projects uh or initiatives that they wanted to lead I think that's pretty amazing to be able to learn from this this really sharp operators and then also the investors right so I think being able to see everything from kind of oil and gas to women's beauty products kind of all over um different spaces and seeing patterns across I would say like that that was those those are the parts that are very exciting because you got to think about and act on very different types of businesses yeah can you tell us more about those one-on-ones with CEO CFOs I can't imagine like myself when I just got out of college so being those kind of conversations like how how is that yeah so I think I think that's that's what uh you really learn from some of the senior folks a lot of the conversation at least when you're first starting off is really kind of uh dominated by some of these senior folks um and then as you end up getting closer and closer to purchasing and you end up purchasing the business a lot of the one-on-ones are like hey you know where can I be helpful there's these These are three or four things that I saw and maybe this other type of deal that we looked at um it could you know it could be useful here but I wanna I wanna hear from you and because you know the business better than anyone else um of where I can be helpful and so a lot of times it would welcome it I think um especially with some of the uh analysis that let's say they want to do on their customers or um their sales or their costs or whatever it is um again you know you want to you want to be in a position where you're serving them right um and so if you if you can if you can find a way to suggest certain things that are going to be helpful and then uh and then deliver for them I think that you can kind of build some really great relationships yeah and was it nerve-wracking at first at all or yeah definitely I mean yeah definitely definitely very nervous um uh but I think that you over time you can build a little bit of rapport with with each individual person um but yeah definitely at the beginning it is nerve-wracking and switching gear is about now going into how to break into private Equity um back when you were at Bain Capital you're kind of making the switch to PE what kind of resources did you use and what did you find most helpful as you're going through that whole recruiting process yeah I would say um first really understanding what private Equity is right and like what the job entails um is really important and the way you could do that is um certainly you know there's a lot of courses that are online um like Ben's and and and uh but also speaking to folks if you have people that you know um who have done the work right getting getting a coffee with them and saying Hey look these are the skill sets that I've had previously I'm hoping to really understand what what folks do and then and then kind of thinking about like a almost like a gap right like where where do I need to improve to get there so so one is like really understanding the work number two is I did do um a lot of my skills are actually very transferable I would say and so uh thinking through how do you frame your story and and how do you frame um your skills that would match you know each individual firm and then third uh is uh you gotta really like you gotta get really excited about it right because it's it it there's uh there's a decent amount of work involved and you want to be you you for yourself want to be in a position where you're enjoying the work and then you also want uh people want to work with people who get excited about uh the work that they do now since you're watching this video I'm guessing you're interested in private equity and if so I highly recommend you check out this newly announced PE certificate program being offered by Wall Street prep and Wharton which is where I'm currently getting my MBA this program is sponsored by top firms like Carlisle and KKR and it's one of the first of its kind in which a leading business institution Wharton is partnering with the top Financial modeling trainer Wall Street prep to create a theory meets practice program over eight weeks and at a recommended eight hours

more this newly announced program will run twice a year with the first one going from May 1st to June 25th and if you're interested be sure to use my code rare liquid because you'll get a few hundred dollars off and I'll leave a link to all of this down in my description below I'm curious then when you generally think about people who you think are good fits for private Equity or investing versus not um of course I think the industry will attract a wide range of personalities and characters yeah but are there any traits that you see or you think that would make for make the industry good for certain people and not good for some people yeah so uh so I I don't I wouldn't say that it's um good for some people or or not good for others I would more say that because every firm is very different even within the stages of investing you can invest in smaller size companies or large size companies that require totally different skill sets um and then even as you alluded to a literature at the beginning it says you get more senior um your role also changes and so I wouldn't say this is hard and fast that hey um some folks are good or or good fits or bad fits for this but what I would say is that you do want to get really excited about and the work that you're doing um and you want to get excited about um working with people of different backgrounds as I mentioned you're put in the front of a lot of farmers or management teams it's really important for you to connect with those folks as well as for example the lawyers or the accountants or the Consultants they're also working with each of whom have a very different skill set and so you I think one is like just I'd be really excited about the work and then two is an ability I would say to connect with people who have um differing backgrounds and then maybe three is um uh you know some of the technical skills that I think we had mentioned uh ahead of time getting sharp on those and then uh having the qualities I would say of of um just delivering you know good work over time okay and were there any specific resources that you use for those technical yeah so I I I had um some friends who uh would help kind of case me or um mock interview me um this was a number of years ago now but I think that you know there are certainly large question banks that are available to to folks um I can't remember the specific resource off the top of my head but a lot of it a lot of it really was uh speaking to to colleagues of mine that I knew who were um in the industry and then having them kind of work workshop with me my story making sure that I understand really uh the companies really well and um and then also building kind of some of the technical skills all right and I I think I remember hearing from a lot of my friends who recruited for private Equity that there are a lot of like cases and like projects that they kind of give you can you walk us through a little bit about the interview process from like the first rounds to the super days yeah sure so first rounds I think are typically a phone screen or uh a conversation um again every firm does it differently but there's gonna be some set of behaviors of hey you know tell me about yourself or why are you interested in private Equity well I was interested in this firm specifically they may ask you about your view on the market they may ask you about um uh if there's something in their portfolio that they that you particularly like uh typically a lot of these firms will have their portfolio publicly listed on on their website so getting sharp on what what what each other companies does and maybe what you like about the company and what you we can view as a risk um that's kind of the first second part of it there's sometimes is a modeling test where they'll give you um uh kind of some financials and they'll say hey can you build a model from uh from scratch or the maybe from a template um and so just just to see that hey like do you have the some of the technical modeling skills to do this and do you understand and then and then and then lastly there's sometimes a presentation where you say okay you can present this model or present this business uh why do you think it's a good business why do you think it's a bad business what would you what kind of questions would you have um and so you know kind of break it up into those parts one is just behavioral getting your story straight and then you know why are you interested number two is maybe some of the the Excel modeling and then three is kind of presentation skills um yeah you mentioned as you were talking about preparing for everything like following the markets and Industry Trends a little bit is there anything that you follow where there's like newsletters or anything that's been really helpful yeah I mean I uh through Wharton we have subscriptions through kind of the Wall Street Journal um Bloomberg I I you know there's a number of podcasts uh that are available um uh you know Wall Street has uh Wall Street Journal also has kind of shorter form like five things you need to know about today um I think Pro rata also has kind of a a list of of companies um that are being sold or bought and so you know anything on kind of Bloomberg or Wall Street Journal I think they depending on what industry you're interested in they have each you can sign up for newsletters that get sent to your email either every day or every week and so typically I'll I'll use that as a strong uh starting point got it okay and then now kind of more focused on your MBA yeah what made you want to get an MBA yeah so I mean the truth is it was definitely a tough decision um uh to to get an MBA I think um at the end of the day I wanted the opportunity to meet with a very diverse set of people um and then also take this time where I can completely I would say uh be the master of my own schedule and really dive into things that I'm interested in and so here um you know trying to do a lot of stress experiences this is certainly one for me um and getting to meet people from all over the world and and then also uh get get sharper on maybe aspects of some of the business stuff that didn't they didn't do in the uh while I was working all right and then throughout this past uh year or so after now that our first year is pretty much done have there been any meaningful lessons or experiences that you've had from this past year that come to mind yeah I would say um from a business school perspective and also just broadly is it's really important to prioritize your time and it's good to say no to things that you um that you're really not interested in doing and so I think that once I became more comfortable saying no which is probably a common experience for a lot of uh mbas and other folks it really opens up time for things that you you really want to do and I'll tell you the other thing is that's important is creating unstructured time right so just putting block on your calendar where you don't have anything set up so you can do spontaneous things with friends or with others um it's something I've kind of really enjoyed so I'd say one is prioritizing your time by saying no to things uh because that opens up blocks and then number two is um creating just blocks of of time that is just completely unstructured and so it allows for some spontaneous interactions and for for folks to do you know for you to do different things catch up with a friend or attend to talk um you know whatever you really like and what about for those who are interested in applying for mbas do you have any kind of top tips things that worked well for you yeah I think you have to think a lot about why uh I would say you want to go and so as I mentioned for me I was interested in meeting I guess a group of diverse folks and people uh and then also um you know building up on some for example marketing and some some other skills that I haven't learned as technically as much or want to get better at and so thinking about your life and saying okay do I really want to like why do I really want to do this uh talking to some mbas um so they can tell you exactly what the process looks like and and also what it really is uh when you're actually in graduate school um and I would say uh if you can get that if you can get a clear solid answer of this is why I want to go to school and and you also understand what a school offers then I think some of the essays and stuff become much easier and so take you know a couple months or a few months um thinking about why you'd want to go one of the things I actually did was just do a little you know pros and cons list of of both doing the MBA and then or not and what else could I be doing with two years because two years is a lot of time and so you want to make sure and and it costs a lot of money so you want to make sure that you're you're making the right decision for yourself and there are a lot of uh people I guess in our audience who are a little bit younger than you and me maybe some who are older too but uh I was wondering if you had any advice you could give them or like basically to your former self back in college anything personal or career related yeah I would say on the on the personal front um uh to almost just relax a little bit more right things kind of work themselves out um and I I would say that um basically take time to to pursue things that you're just interested in I know that sounds very broad but um but in like if there's a class or if there's something that you you want to like you you can look on YouTube or you can look online to basically learn about anything that you want to learn about and so um just dive into those things the second point is that it's it's totally okay if your interests change I think that's perfectly fine um and I would say that that's important to recognize because the world is changing so quickly I think a lot of times people or at least myself want to have kind of a clear path of saying I'm going to do X Y and Z and this is how I'm going to look in the next five to ten years anything it's helpful to have a generalized plan where you want to go but like allow yourself and allow um allow yourself to end your interest to change over time because um the job or the career or the thing that you want to do literally it may not even be invented uh at this time and so there's no way that you could know uh or could predict that you actually end up doing those jobs and so if you focus on the things you enjoy and you take time to be around people that you enjoy um things kind of uh work out nicely and well I'm actually curious when you I think yes it is super important to kind of go with the flow in a sense yeah and try to relax and be patient and let things unfold as they should um but then how have you found any a lot of people who want to go into like private Equity banking Finance tend to be people who have trouble relaxing ish yeah so how do you have anything that you specifically did or do or is it yeah just with time you no certainly so I I like I like going on runs uh for me and so uh sometimes when especially I'm very busy sometimes I find that you know I end up not going on runs which makes it even harder for me and so what I do is if I catch myself in a situation where I haven't let's say exercise I've gone a runner a while um I'll just force that as something before I do any work or before I do anything else like I need to do this I need to go and run any exercise I need to do something to get outside and move and building that I think building that um recognizing that doing this thing that I really love will also just free up my mind and be helping me be more productive and forcing that ahead of doing work I think has been really helpful um another one is also like talking to people who are much older right and so I think that this it's really helpful to see uh a way that you can kind of see what your life could look like or could be in the future is talking to folks who are older in very different paths and getting that perspective has been also really helpful for me um so I say those two things and I still try to do a bunch of things now about it and then uh I wanted to kind of end the conversation I guess with uh a way for people to kind of understand who you are a little bit more and because I'm I always think people have some core values that shape what decisions they make personally and professionally and so I was wondering about like any two through two to three or maybe even one core values that you personally have and maybe how they shaped your your life until this point interesting yeah that's a good one um let's see in terms of core values I would say uh well things that are important to me right or certainly my family and I think um being loyal to the people that around you and and making sure that you you're there for others I think that's been really important for me um and I think that it also comes back right so I have a lot of really strong close-it friendships and and family that I really cherish and I think that that helps you helps make helps make other decisions easier in life where you say okay if I'm gonna it doesn't allow you to overbook things it make sure that you invest in time and relationships with the people you care about uh and so it's something that I've tried to do I try to you know call uh both my family and friends who are not physically here in in Philadelphia with me um so I'd say that and then the other thing is like I I get excited very easily about a lot of things and I think that uh I don't know if there's a value or not but just like trying to have fun with the things and seeing school work whatever is as an opportunity to learn and get get excited I think for me uh has helped me a lot right because you know as as uh Ben mentioned there are times where it's going to be difficult there's going to be a lot of work in whatever aspect but if you can kind of look at it as a puzzle and get excited about it and see that there's this really cool bigger picture then you know you're still doing that same amount of work but at least then you're doing it in a space that's exciting and you you feel excited about it uh and then that also I think it rubs off on other folks who you're working with um and and Chris kind of this positive reinforcement Loop and so um yeah I would say one is I guess loyalty to to friendships and family and the other is I don't know if it's a core value or not but just like get excited and try to frame opportunities to to learn and grow um because you know you're going to be doing the same work either way and this way you know you can have fun doing it with that said that concludes the interview hope you all learned a lot and if you guys want me to meet a lot of friends across various different Industries in my MBA program so let me
