Growth Equity Shops - Tiers?
Hi all, Can we get a running list of the tiers of GE shops? Obviously this is subjective, but I think it would be helpful to have an idea of how good some funds are relative to others. This list I found seems to be the overall best firms in GE, so anyone on the list should be proud as is, but if we...
Undergrad Job Offer? VC/GE/IB? Help!
Hi! I have 3 paths that I can go upon graduation from UG.

Tech IB return from my IB SA position in a MM firm (think Harris...
Sixth Street Growth Equity
Hello, I have read the other post mentioning Sixth Street is a special sit shop spinning out of TPG, thus would it be wrong for me to assume that they have another arm focusing on Growth Equity? If they do, could you please share your thoughts on their culture and compensation? Thank you!
Asking for a raise in a virtual environment
I'm 8 months into my new role as an Associate and the feedback from the partners has been overwhelmingly positive--they want me to come back after business school, my work has been high quality and quickly created, and one partner told me, "You're not a senior Associate, but you're operating at that...
Offer Analysis Help
Hi everyone, I am looking to crowdsource opinions on three offers that I have received (no exploding timeline, all off-cycle). One is early-stage VC, one is traditional tech buyouts (a step below TB, H&F, Vista), and the third is GE. Comp, responsibilities, etc. are fairly straight-forward. Key...
Need advice to go from MM Buyout to GE
I recently completed a two-year associate program at a MM PE and just quit to go back to my home country China so I can spend time with my girlfriend and family. The buyout market in China is still relatively young with few transactions each year and not that many firms focusing on it. I'm trying to...

Relationship Between Revenue Multiple Expansion and EBITDA Margin and ROIC
1) What is a reasonable assumption of REVENUE exit multiple expansion based on growing EBITDA margins and ROIC? Example: Purchase multiple of 20x and over the course of 5 years, the margins improved by 4x and ROIC by 8x. 2) When the revenue and not EBITDA multiple expansion are concerned, do we even...
