Is MM PE worth it?
If one can't get into a megafund (e.g. Blackstone, Carlyle) is it worth it to go to a good middle-market firm that might be less well-known but still seems to have good people? e.g. Hellman and Friedman, Berkshire Partners, and then try to move up to a bigger, more prestigious fund after?
I mean, in what sense. It all depends on what you want to be doing. If you want to do PE at a really serious reputable big fund, then yes, take any of those. H&F and Berkshire and similar funds aren't "mega funds" but they are big and super selective. You'd get awesome experience there.
If someone is hell-bent on PE, they aren't going to just say "fuck, I can't go to H&F, it's not KKR, might as well blow my brains out."
Isn't there a thread about this in the FAQ that discussed how starting in MM PE may be a better way to a megafund?

The question should almost be the other way around... Is working at a Megafund worth it after two years of 80-100+ hr weeks?
No career in finance is worth doing. No matter how well you do, you will never be Michael Phelps.
You don't say.
This tops the dumbest questions I've heard all week.
Look at the user who posted it. It's obviously not a serious question.
Not sure why Patrick hasn't banned him yet. His trolling is too subtle.
