Happy new year and welcome back to the career insight series!

We're kicking off the year delving into the private equity industry where we welcomed Tobi Osi - A price equity associate on to the show. Tobi demystifies the industry for us, explaining what private equity actually is and where it sits in the financial services industry. We also delve into the different routes into the industry and that whilst there is a preference for those from M&A, there are multiple routes into the industry. Furthermore, we look at how the unique skillset needed for private equity and why it takes a particular character to succeed in the industry.

Lastly, we also look into the issue of diversity in the private equity, looking at the impact of the 100 black interns on the diversity of the industry and why it will take a few years before the structural change will occur.
