Capstone Partners Denver Office

Saw Capstone Partners has a Denver office, considering a lateral move there because them and Petrie seem to be the best shops in Denver.

Does anyone have any insight on their comp, particularly at the ASO2 level and up? Do they have a hybrid work model? Are there particular teams placed in the Denver office?

Thanks in advance!

Comp is roughly one level lower than street. So a VP at Capstone makes what a street ASO does. An ASO makes the same as a street Analyst. Analysts make Big 4 money...

Firm has a lot of momentum and I like where they're going, but the pay is a serious concern. 

 

Culture is great - very loose on the WFH policy. Had to take a week out of office because I had a cold and beyond the occasional "you okay?" text, I was good to go.

The staffer is super nice, and everyone in the Denver office gets along pretty well. Not too many fire drills or crazy late nights, and if you are good, you can knock out most your work in reasonable hours.

 

I will mention that if you are in Denver this is not an atypical comp structure. Some of the bigger banks do right size associate and VP comp, but Denver will generally have much lower pay across the board. I know there are some boutiques that have abysmal pay. I have a buddy at one shop that seems to be paid fairly well - no comment on the exact range, but lives in a nice part of town and has not made comments about comp being low at his firm.
