Qatalyst Partners

“Qatalyst provided me with significant hands-on work experience that I felt was unique to the industry. I felt trusted by the team to take ownership on several deliverables that were directly sent to clients. I was also able to listen in on calls, interact directly with clients, and spectate higher level buyer-management interactions, which helped me to exercise my own critical thinking. The Qatalyst team placed significance on mentorship, putting in place both structured and unstructured means in which I could receive feedback and ask questions openly. Taken together, due to the great professional development and strong sense of community, I really enjoyed my experience and look forward to returning. ”

“As an intern, Qatalyst provided me the opportunity to engage in meaningful work on live projects. Throughout the internship, I was entrusted with creating new deliverables and worked directly with analyst members of the team up to the MD level, responsibilities that made me feel both valued and important to the team's success. I felt that those I worked with became my informal mentors, who invested in my development and were very willing to answer any questions I had. A highlight of the internship for me was the partner chats. During the internship, each partner at the firm invited the interns and new first-year analysts to an intimate lunch Q&A chat in which they spoke about their background, how they ended up in banking, and their current role/subsector. It was fascinating to learn the career trajectories of senior leaders at the firm and hear their unique perspectives on M&A activity in their sector. In addition to the partner chats, I valued Qatalyst's effort to extend camaraderie beyond the workplace through frequent firmwide social events. I appreciated the firm providing avenues to connect with members of the team in a more casual setting. ”
