Behavioral Technical

It was pretty much just behavioral stuff and questions about my past experience. They asked me to explain my interest in private equity generally and then specifically about their micro cap fund. It was pretty easy and no curveballs.

Behavioral Technical Other

It was an easy interview, no technical questions really. They asked me why I was interested in Private Equity and why I would be a good fit at Riverside. I had two rounds and the last question was a brain teaser.
