Advice on a PE firm

Ok so i was browsing around Linkedin and I found this PE firm that i havent heard before, I emailed them to see for an opportunity to maybe a job opportunity with them. So the CEO replied to me and told me we could meet on a restaurant on friday. It seemed odd to me, i searched some more on this company and found only the CEO and another analyst working in this firm (at least online). But i also found that the firm is 1 year old exactly so maybe thats why it dosent have so many analysts around. What do you guys think about this?

I’d say you oughta go to the meeting…Why not?

I wouldn’t get my hopes up about a job, though.

Sounds like a smaller start-up PE firm, and the guy wants to meet in a casual environment. Just be prepared to talk about your interest in PE and ask him some interesting questions such as how the firm was formed, what their investment process is like, what common attributes his most successful colleages in the past and present have had, etc…you never know where these things go.
