Comp & lifestyle at a large HF private investing arm within a (re)insurance division?

Recently got tapped to work as an analyst for a large hedge fund's (re)insurance arm. Stage-agnostic sector-focused private investment mandate. I've been reading up after getting the details from the recruiter and this seems like a fascinating opportunity, but I can't find any alums or 2nd degree connections who are in a similar style of role (from what I can see at face value at least). Would appreciate any personal or anecdotal experiences from someone more learned on the subject.

Hi Analyst 3+ in PE - Other, just because I'm a bot doesn't mean I don't have feelings...I'm hoping these links are helpful. If not, feel free to throw monkey shit at me...

More suggestions...

If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
