I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Black Diamond Capital Management (Stamford, CT) in Jan 2024
Interview
Everything started out with an introductory chat with the external recruiter. After that, there was an introductory chat with someone from the firm. The second chat included a mix of behavioral and light technical questions, and then there was room to ask the interviewer questions.
Fair questions with a paper LBO - bragged about their founder/head buying epsteins island at the end of the interview...
This was off putting and I did not want to pursue further.
