How did this guy make MD at top HF at 30 y/o?

Elite HS -> ivy -> BB -> MM PE -> MD at top HF by 30 y/o


Insane. He is undoubtedly a bright and talented man, but you have to wonder what his connections did for him in this success. Seems like a similar story to Chase Coleman III - an incredibly bright mind with world-class talent, but how much of his success can be attributed to coming from an extremely wealthy family and receiving personal professional grooming from the world's finest?


Just a bit humbling to see these people in the wild. Just different beasts.

 

Guy's Linkedin search numbers are going to go up now as every kid looks at him to be the young guy pulling in millions a year. Why wasn't your first reaction - "shit how much money did this guy make to get promoted to quick?" versus "shit what connections did he have?". 

 

I didn't give a name. The profile I gave could be anyone but I will edit some things out to leave it a bit more anon. Perhaps I'm ignorant, but just how much money can a 24 y/o PE associate make for a firm in 2 years? He obviously wasn't building a book at GS as an analyst so that leaves 24 months to make enough money to make MD? I was being realistic I suppose is the answer to your question.

I did some more research and it looks like Lone Pine was founded by a tiger cub and named after a pine at Dartmouth. So the ties are there.

 

Could be wrong but doesn’t MD at that firm not necessarily mean MD in the traditional IB sense?
