I applied online. I interviewed at Hamilton Lane (Philadelphia, PA) in May 2023
Interview
1) HR screening
2) Principal and VP - 30 minutes each about why secondaries and what you know
3) Assessment - timed excel test (no modelling, but a test on all things excel and finance i.e. calculation of MOIC, IRR, etc.)
4) Team interviews - 30 minute slots
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The first two rounds were mostly behavioural questions, with a few more technical questions around what you know about the secondaries space. However the actual technical round is during the assessment where they test your excel skills and will give you a list of some of the questions that may come up ahead of time to better prepare
Spoke with two employees including the hiring manager, which consisted of an introductory interview and a technical interview. Followed up as is protocol, but never heard back one way or the other.
