Success Interview: Private Equity / Deloitte

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

Every few weeks we publish an interview with someone currently established and working at a high level in finance. The interviews can give you a stronger understanding of individual roles within the finance sector, as well as giving you an understanding of the lifestyle in the City. Use them to find out what the high-fliers do and then model their success.

Some time ago we spoke to Amit, a private equity practitioner at Deloitte. Amit began his career in accounting, and moved into audit at Barclays Capital before obtaining his current role in corporate finance at Deloitte advising private equity clients. He has recently moved to India to join a team of corporate financiers in India’s growing market with Deloitte.

Amit has experience obtaining graduate jobs during hard economic times (immediately after the 9/11 terrorist attacks) and offers valuable insights into the process of finding your ideal role in banking and finance. This interview discusses strategies for success in interviews and is recommended for anyone about to apply for a career in banking and finance.
