Questions.
We are three analysts who recruited for the London buyside over the last three years – hedge funds, private equity, venture capital and growth equity. Between us we went through more than 60 processes.
The major London hedge fund, private equity, venture capital and growth equity processes. We do not publish anything fund-confidential: no real names of interviewers, no real deal data tied to a fund, no performance figures.
Peak Frameworks is US-centric, and we didn't find it helpful when recruiting for the London buyside – which is what inspired us to create Exit Alpha. We focus on helping you ace processes by giving you real examples of what is actually tested.
Not yet. But if you are stressed and have a process coming up, reach out to us and we will see how we can help.
Yes, it is London-specific today – that is where we recruited and where most buyside hiring concentrates.
If you are targeting a buyside seat, yes. It is most useful for IB analysts and consultants making the jump, and for penultimate- and final-year students at target schools who want to understand how the process actually runs before they are in it.
Email us – if you are a student at a target school we will sort something out. We would rather you have it than not.
Everything – the full question bank, every case study, the stock pitches and case studies, and the round-by-round advice. One price, one product, all of it. No tiers to decode.
Given the digital nature of the product – once you have access, you have it – we don't offer refunds. If you have a question about whether Exit Alpha is right for you before purchasing, message us at hello@exit-alpha.com and we'll answer honestly.
