In my experience D&C is great. They are very talented investors, they take investing very seriously, the business has done well despite secular challenges facing the industry, and the people seem really nice. Not sure about comp but I think it should be top of street given private ownership, high AUM/head, and minimal marketing effort. Seats are very hard to come by.

 

comp is nowhere near top of street (relative to IB especially) based on what ive heard

Because it's not sexy lol. It's basically an apprenticeship model as an associate. You're really just getting paid to learn and shit (at least at my shop). No one really outside of IM knows what the role is (won't impress some chicks at a bar with it) and job functions vary from firm-to-firm. That said, I'm enjoying learning about global growth investing and taking a LT view on a company's fundamentals. I see you'd be coming from PE and it's very different from IB/PE/ER (was SS prior)... not a project-driven role at all. It's a role where you need to take initiative, be interested in reading news a lot, and just sitting and thinking long-term.

 

This is a no brainer. No disrespect to T. Rowe which is a great firm in its own right. But Capital and Dodge & Cox. Two of the best firms on the planet period. The business economics (and privately owned by the employees - do the math…) and the cultures. No one leaves either place (voluntarily). That’s why you don’t hear much about them. Because the spots are so few and no one gives them up. Wall Street’s best kept secrets. Capital first if you like the idea of having your own P&L.
