blah, a lot of people pulled on the funding. might be better to work at a BB for a few years.
Jesus... this is the first post on google for "Mount Kellett Capital". Are you sure that's the name?
Yes. Any heresay?
hey guys did anybody interviewed with theme recently? how was it? what kind of questions they asked?
bump
last time i spoke with them (end of 2010) they were not looking to add junior team members fyi. things could've changed but i highly doubt it given their recent troubles (failed to meet fundraising target, key senior departures, etc.)
Didn't the founder quit Goldman because he was dissatisfied with his 70MM bonus? What a tool. Totally deserves the flop.
more than that, i think he underestimated goldman's brand equity. comp aside, not sure why he left goldman to start a fund in the midst of the crisis -- that's a bad career move even if you have a great track record and are looking at distress opportunities. GS has the most flexible balance sheet on the Street and committed a ton of capital to SSG. why mess with that? then he sets a ridiculous fundraising target ($3.5bn i think?) and loses a few of his top lieutenants.
Fuck all that i set in interview with them, and when i got to the office they told that last night they already filled the position what a bitch
weak troll
website now says they have $7B AUM...thoughts? couldnt find more else on them

Anyone know anything about the distressed PE fund, Mount Kellett Capital Management? It is supposedly being started by Mark McGoldrick. Anything?

.
are they hiring associates from ibd analyst programs?
My restructuring firm had a meeting with them today. They have been fundraising for much of the past year and have a soft close of their fund. Were told the build out is nearly done, so not sure if they are hiring this year but would assume going forward they would be.
the website now says it has like $7B AUM...thoughts now? just curious!
Yeah that sounds about right. Around $3bn in fund I and $4bn in fund II.
Very well regarded firm from what I hear. Fund I is performing well I believe, although the vintage is very favorable for a distressed/special situations fund. Fund III should start raising capital towards the end of this year I would guess.
