No worries at all! Glad it helped but to be honest I would be completely amazed if you ever got examined on secondary buyouts to that level of detail in an interview- Daniel Boden

So, from what I have found, I think it makes sense to say that the capital gain would have already been realised by the original institutional investor and so the secondary buyer wouldn't realise the capital gain if I understand your question correctly? Perhaps you could rephrase to make sure I...- Daniel Boden

Online Vacation Schemes
Hi @Donzi, I guess what I'm looking forward to the most is seeing the creative ways that firms come up with to make the schemes as interesting as possible! Personally, I've had a really good experience thus far with Gibson Dunn and am looking forward to seeing how they make the scheme...- Daniel Boden

That is a good question and I am not sure on the answer I'm afraid. I'll do some research and let you know. @Raam or @Jaysen do you have any idea?- Daniel Boden

Turning to the US, there is a tremendous amount of investor optimism in the US, with markets already nearly back to their previous highs earlier in the year. This is because, 'Market sentiment is tied up with long-term expectations for growth and, in spite of skyrocketing unemployment and...- Daniel Boden

As well as the above, there's a very interesting article in the FT today about Public Equity whereby the author argues that governments should actively encourage people to invest in company stocks rather than debt, which has been heavily incentivised due to favourable tax treatments over the...- Daniel Boden

Afternoon all, just to continue the trend on private equity, yesterday Ardian (paris-based PE firm) announced it has raised the third-biggest PE fund ever, $19bn, and the largest-ever fund dedicated to the secondaries market. This clearly reflects the earlier trend I spoke of whereby the...- Daniel Boden

Vacation Scheme Preparation
Thanks so much for sharing! This is a great post with a lot of really good ideas on it so I think a lot of people will find it very useful :) EDIT: this is a really good point re the social side of the scheme. Don't be that guy who wants to discuss a certain precedent/case at a law firm social...- Daniel Boden

The fact you have secured the TC (which I would absolutely put on the CV) will be more than good enough so I wouldn't worry about that :)- Daniel Boden

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
Given you have already accepted a TC offer, I don’t see the need to include it? You don’t see trainees note that they received offers from other firms on their CV - I think that’s just a LinkedIn thing tbh- Daniel Boden

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
Put it this way, if you don't apply you have no chance of making it through to the next stage but if you do apply then there is a chance. That's how I tend to look at these things. I'd also recommend getting in contact with the firms that interest you and asking them for their advice directly...- Daniel Boden

I'm not sure what the form is in your home country but in England we tend to wear suits. I always bring a tie with me and wear it for assessments and any interviews, but most of the time for the day-to-day work at the office wearing a tie is not necessary at least in my experience at US firms...- Daniel Boden

Yeah I agree with you here, given that the USA has basically put tariffs on pretty much everything else regarding China, this could almost be the final nail in the coffin as it were due to the reliance that China has on HK as you mention.
