GIC SF Technology Investment Group (TIG) - 2024 Updates

Wanted to hear some thoughts and recent views on GIC's tech group in SF, mostly in terms of total comp / upward mobility / WLB / exits. For context, they do growth-stage direct investing into private technology companies. Seems like people there generally came from solid IB/PE backgrounds.

Here are some specific questions:

  1. How is the total comp at the associate level and beyond? Saw that their associate base pay is $110-150k but know that base pay in PE is often a poor indicator of total comp.

  2. How easy / hard is it to get promoted to VP and beyond? Is their associate role a 3-year and out program?

  3. How would the exits look like if you decide to leave after 2/3 years? Is it still possible to go into a buyout role afterwards?

  4. They seem to be a late-stage VC / growth equity shop. How much of the associate-level work is sourcing vs. diligence?

  5. Would you take them over a MM/LMM PE buyout shop? Assuming no preference between buyout vs growth, so purely optimizing for comp / exits / WLB.
