Step By Step Guide to Starting The Ultimate Most Prestige-Laden EB
-
Have no LinkedIn/online/market presence (think M Klein secrecy - very prestigious)
-
Exclusively work on giga-cap deals ($100bn+ - think Saudi Aramco IPO - ultra prestigious, the rest of the BBs/EBs can work on your leftovers that you deem too small)
-
Restrict employees from disclosing they work here on LinkedIn or to friends/family (think M Klein secret - uber prestigious)
-
Randomize employee emails so prospects can't attempt to coffee chat/network with them (think CVP's no cold emailing policy - highly prestigious)
-
Only take laterals from Tiger Global/RenTech (everyone will think they upgrade to your firm - stupendously prestigious)
-
Only recruit SA classes from top clubs at top targets (think PEVC/WITG/WUFC/GPS at W, GPS/Black Diamond at H, very very selective and prestigious)
-
Do 15 rounds of interviews for SA (think Qatalyst's recruiting process, enormously prestigious)
-
Hard GPA cutoff of 3.99 (extremely prestigious)
-
Only take 6'3+ old money prestigious kids from Exeter/Andover/Deerfield/Eton/Westminster/Le Rosey (extremely prestigious, also likely to bolster deal flow)
-
Only take 2-3 SA per cycle (very prestigious and selective)
-
Keep the company private and never IPO for sky-high comp/economics (think Qatalyst/Dyal & Co comp levels, highly prestigious)
-
Never expand beyond a headcount of 30-40 (super selective and secretive, highly prestigious)
-
Only have an office in Greenwich, St Tropez, Mayfair etc (very prestigious locations without commoners)
-
Tell SA classes to post their salaries on Glassdoor, Fishbowl and WSO to reflect the beyond top of street comp (think FTP 140k base word of mouth style grapevine)
-
Perks including free helicopter rides to and from the office, full catering from Michelin star restaurants, first class flights if under 2 hours, on the corporate private jet if over 2 hours, fully paid SoHo House & Equinox memberships (tremendously prestigious)
