Farallon

Would love to hear folks’ thoughts on Farallon. Anecdotal comp figures (throughout levels of seniority), tid bits on culture, process, what they’ve been focusing on recently…anything really. 
 

For how large it is, hear / know very little about it and the other large multi-strats.

Extremely buttoned-up group of guys. Very academic and bookworm-y culture. SF is not optimal, but they seem to get outside on evenings and weekends.

In terms of comp, one of their senior guys recently set a record for the most expensive land purchase in Hawaii. I think that should tell you what you need to know.

 

The L/S equity side downsized significantly after 08-09, but now is more focused. Take it if you have the chance.
