London: shops with good hours?
Hey there,
Just wondering, are there shops with good hours ? Particularly interested in tech growth equity but open to other interesting stuff.
Not so keen on getting crushed my whole life, are there London-based shops that offer decent salaries with decent hours (say 9-8) ?
Would appreciate any insights into comps, hours, and how you guys think about it
I might be off base a little here. But if you are interested in Infra / Energy PE then many specialist shops have great hours. I know people working at DIF Capital Partners, Dalmore, I squared, Equitix, Amber infrastructure and all work less than the hours you suggested, in fact 9-6 isn't out of the ordinary... outside of crunch periods of deals of course.
But if you're keen on tech then infra might be a little slow pace for you
CPPIB
decent pay, decent hour, good culture (after all they are Canadians)
Oh cool, didn’t know they had a tech fund
ah sorry did not catch the "tech growth equity" part - i referred to the overall firm
I've met a few ex-CPPIB RE VPs/Managers. Pay is insane for a pension fund managers but they still average 70hours per week and their culture sucks
Hows the pay like?

Anywhere smaller, Bowmark, FPE, Mayfair, Livingbridge (a bit harder). Maybe 60-70 hours and £70k - £80k + c.40% bonus for first year assoc level.
I think this is generally right. The key here is to look for the buy side places that hire from big 4 (UK focussed lmm particularly). They pay less than others (don't need to pay a lot to poach associates from big 4) but tend to work more towards the big 4 hours and culture
Yeah can confirm lots of Big4, definitely important dynamic that shapes how that end of the industry works. Not only Big4 also like lower-end Investment Banks like GCA Altium no-one has probably ever heard of.
I know a guy who works in Houlihan Lokey. His hours were about 9am-11pm BUT wiht a 2 hour lunch break for gym etc and an hour for dinner (he would split his seamless with high GF and eat at home at like 8-9pm then head back in for a couple hours).
