The interview process

  1. 1

    Application

    Official

    TPG's careers page sends applicants to its Greenhouse job board (job-boards.greenhouse.io/tpgcareers). The page read does not describe student programmes, dates or interview stages. On 2026-10-10 the board listed 17 roles, none of them a summer analyst, internship or campus role.

  2. 2

    Timing and hiring model

    Reported

    Per a third-party guide: each investment platform hires summer analysts independently and listings appear when teams are ready to recruit, on a rolling basis. The guide models the summer 2028 cycle (applications about August to October 2027), which is an estimate for the next cycle and not a firm-stated date. Eligibility is stated as rising juniors (penultimate-year undergraduates) for analyst roles.

  3. 3

    Round 1: phone or video interview

    Reported

    Per a third-party guide: 30 to 45 minutes covering a CV walkthrough, platform motivation and technical warm-ups on LBO drivers and accounting. Not stated by the firm.

  4. 4

    Round 2: technical deep-dive and modelling test

    Reported

    Per a third-party guide: a modelling test building an LBO from scratch in about two hours, plus a thesis defence; some roles add a two-page written case study. Not stated by the firm.

  5. 5

    Round 3: superday

    Reported

    Per a third-party guide: four to six back-to-back interviews from associate to partner level, mixing behavioural, technical and market-sizing questions. Not stated by the firm.
