NEW Explanation video: 3-Statement LBO Model from the OfficeHours Platform

Check out our latest OfficeHours Platform Video on a 3-Statement LBO focused on Entry Assumptions & Sources and Uses! What we've been hearing from many is that year-end is shaping up to be rather BUSY, however we consistently make sure our Mentees know that the second wave of PE Recruiting is coming up in January. Remember: Your firm doesn't want you to take time away from working for them for you to prepare, FORGET about you planning an exit...

Now is the time you ask yourself: Are you looking to do the same job 1 year down the road? What about 2 years down the line? Do you see yourself in Investment Banking long-term? Especially when the bonuses aren't going to be great.

If we enter into a deeper recession after Q1, what is the plan? If you've been thinking about recruiting for PE, what's holding you back from starting now? Do you need accountability? What about a centralized database for resources?

And this isn't just about resources or prep, we're finding that happiness amongst individuals working right now is ~5.7/10 (our Typeform has the question "How happy are you in your current role?") which has been trending at a decline recently...

We expect January to be very busy on the PE recruiting side of things, use the video above to start reviewing a 3-statement model (which will inevitably be a part of your PE Recruiting process) and then download the entire xlsx here.

With year-end approaching, we're thinking of ways to give back — currently, we have two initiatives for students:

1. @getofficehours Student-Athlete Program is granting IB/PE Access + Personalized 1:1 FREE Coaching to a select few undergraduate students! If you or someone you know might be interested, feel free to pass on this link to them!

and 2. We've been presenting to and working with various undergraduate student-groups (aiming for 1 school/month). Each group and attendee will receive FREE OfficeHours IB Platform Access! If you or someone you know might be interested, feel free to pass on this link to them!

If you've read down this far to begin with, take a few minutes and fill out our Application to see if you're a fit for our 1:1 Personalized Coaching Program.
