Hey all, recruiting for SA 2026 and wondering how this office is. Talked to a few analysts who have sold it well but have been reading somewhat the opposite on here. I'm looking to do Tech PE (agnostic on fund size, focus on career development/ culture after IB) long-term and ideally want to optimize for that.

One of my buddies works there rn. Have heard great things from him. Their whole analyst class gets great PE looks rn at most UMM/MFs. I think they made some good hires to replace the old seniors that left to UBS so things have picked up a lot apparently.
If your buddy happens to be you just say that bro but appreciate the response nonetheless
Nah it’s deadass one of my closest friends so I hear all about things from him. I’m at a boutique rn
