Why are so many senior-level investors leaving Coatue? Off the top of my head, within the last year or so, Cahn, Rahul Kishore, Duesterhoeft, Kris Fredrickson, and Matt Mazzeo have all left the firm which is pretty insane. Curious if anyone has any insights into why.

Fired. Turnover high at Coatue
Surely not all five were fired...Don't know him, but looks like Cahn landed in a better seat at Sequoia.
You must not be familiar with Mr. Laffont
Cahn is a VC guy so his General Partner title is a bit inflated, though he's definitely impressive. Idk why VC ppl feel the need to inflate titles and seem older. Cahn does it especially extra - dude is a class of 2014 HS graduate (so originally class of 2018 Penn) but comes off as a class of 2015 from his linkedin experience. His MS stint starting in 2015 referring to his sophomore internship. He did graduate from Penn a year early though (2017)
Their privates fund is down 30% on paper in 2023 (and likely much more if truly MtM) and Philippe keeps a short leash.

Every single person at Coatue is a “Partner”
In VC at least. So funny, so true
"General Partner." But yes, incredibly obnoxious.
Heard they are all get analyst jobs at pods
see a decent number of coatue to pod moves actually. more autonomy/lifestyle/pay?

Because there’s only room for 1 at the top and inevitably high performers reach a ceiling but still want career progression
