HF if it’s those names.
Also Tac Opps isn’t a special situations fund tbh.
"Spec ops", "Tac ops"
Sounds like something you'd hear in call of duty lmao
People in finance love to pretend they are cool so I would really expect nothing less.
“Oh sick bro you work in Tac Ops that must be an unreal gig”. Nah not really, unless you like overanalyzing credit docs overlevering shitcos
How would you rank an opportunity at Disney Tac Opps?
I would do it just for the "Mickey Mouse LLP fucks over Apollo" headlines
LOLOL
“Goofy puts Apollo in doggystyle”
Lol what, ppl go to Apo HV just for the shot at possibly interviewing that Elliot/Baupost.
baupost the fund that's essentially averaged LSD/MSD returns for the past decade? doubt anyone at apollo HV (broadly speaking) is itching to work at baupost...
