Would you say hours are generally better at a smaller PE firm? Fewer weekends?

If anyone out there has made the transition from banking to PE, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks.

 

You have to watch out for the bucket shops - they will burn you fast - larger = more stability, more work. Stick with larger if you have a family - smaller if you want to try to strike it rich, but are willing to sell your soul

 

Just make sure that the larger fund you are looking at has actually gone ahead and hired more people to keep pace with the changing environment. Many have not, which means you will get killed there too (though you will be at the top of the game anyway, so if that is your thing it doesn't matter)...
