Hi everyone,
Considering joining Farallon and was looking get some color about what the Junior (or general) experience is like - very few data points on this site so anything would be helpful. Thanks!

Based on the most helpful WSO content, Farallon Capital is known for its focus on distressed investing, merger arbitrage, and event-driven strategies, rather than traditional long/short equity setups. It operates as a proper hedge fund, not a typical distressed shop, and has a reputation for being involved in large-cap public situations.
Regarding the junior experience, there isn't much detailed information available, but the culture has been described as "a bit weird" by some. Insights into compensation and internal promotion are limited, but the firm is known to run multiple strategies, offering exposure to different sectors and investment styles. Farallon is based in San Francisco and manages an 11-figure AUM, which suggests a significant scale of operations.
If you're looking for more specifics on junior-level roles, compensation, or day-to-day responsibilities, you might need to connect with someone directly at the firm or explore further discussions on WSO.

Have to sweat hard and be in SF for entire life but for 75th percentile comp.
75th percentile? Any numbers there and age brackets?
You start off as part of an analyst program for 2-3 years. If you do well, you'll get your own P&L and are paid a % of that.
But yeah, you're stuck in SF, though they do have satellite offices around the world.
How big is the NY office
3-4 people maybe. Very small

Did first rounds go out for SF 2026 positions?
