Anyone know anything about Highland Capital Management's NY office? Size, culture, how desks are structured? Comp would be great but I know that's asking a lot.
I know Highland's got a wide range of credit strategies and is pretty big in the CLO/leveraged loan space, but that they also have some mezz/distressed/opportunity funds and a loan-to-own PE fund and I guess even a L/S equity fund. Any color on which products/desks are run out of NYC would be great-Dallas is the home office and I believe the biggest, so not sure how things would be split up.
Seems like they've managed to move past their issues from gating their funds during the down-turn and are going to survive?
I know the CLO/MM lev loan group is in NYC (at least a decent part of it)
Thanks
Would also like to know.
From what i have seen, most of Highland Capital teams, including their L/S Equity team, are based out of Dallas.
PTS is right about how members of their CLO/MM team being in NYC, along with many client/account managers. Some more about their L/S strategy can be found here: http://www.hedgetracker.com/fund/Highland-Capital-Management
Any updates/add'l info on this?
Not sure about the split but I have an acquaintance that works there who says that morale is pretty low. There are two types of people who work there: those who are openly looking for another job and those who are secretly looking for a new job.
Things may have improved over the last year or so, but I doubt it. I know guys who were screwed out of their "guaranteed" bonuses. It's big and has a name, but I'm not so sure it's a good one.
Highland Capital ? (Originally Posted: 01/30/2018)
I've heard mixed things about these guys and all the threads on this site are old. Thoughts on the firm for culture/pay/prestige/exit opps? Specifically for the investment analyst position if anyone could shed some light would be great thanks
I was approached by a recruiter and ended up declining because (my memory is fuzzy, I could be slightly off here) base salary was 75-80k or something like that.
They do apparently dress up in costume on halloween so maybe its chill there? (Or creepy).
Good culture, all I know based on conversations
