Christmas Podding: Day 3 – Sandwiches, Traditions, and Private Equity 🎄

Video

Welcome back to the We Do Grotto! Today’s festive debate started with an essential question: which Christmas sandwich is the best? M&S seems to have nailed it this year with the classics – turkey, pigs in blankets, stuffing – but when it comes to Christmas traditions, we couldn’t resist a deeper conversation.

So, what about private equity firms? Do they embrace a little Christmas goodwill? (NICE SEGWAY!!)

Here’s what we uncovered:

  • While the festive spirit might lighten the mood, private equity remains a tough, focused industry – especially during uncertain economic times.
  • For finance directors looking to break into PE-backed roles, December may offer an advantage with fewer candidates active in the market, but preparation and risk management are still the name of the game.
  • Private equity professionals might have a reputation for being tough, but many in the industry are approachable and focused on building relationships – proving perceptions aren’t always reality.

And we couldn’t end without the big question: what’s the best Christmas film? Home Alone, The Grinch, or Die Hard? Let us know your pick!
