Anyone here work at Ardea and have any insights on dealflow, culture, pay and exits?
Looks like they spun off from GS like FT Partners but specialize in FIG rather than Fintech advisory?

Also interested - is ardea just another FTP?
If by FTP you mean generally higher hours coupled with above street comp, I think thats a fair qualification
Is everyone at Ardea too busy making pitch books to comment on the Ardea experience?
is area still open for summer 2024 or closed?
Generalist but most of the deal flow is concentrated in FIG + natural resources. Very lean shop with high expectations demanded from the juniors, so the experience is pretty intense and wlb will often reflect that. Culture is pretty good, most of the juniors are pretty close and the seniors really have focused on fostering a culture of mentorship and try to get to know you, but during the work day people are locked in and are focused on their jobs so bullpen can feel a bit cold when everyone’s busy. Compensation is high, and everyone gets profit share.
Generally agree but natural resources is not a concentration. It is 90% FIG and the transactions on their website reflect that
