Did you get 1R yet? Any news? Also interviewing
Yh done R1. When is yours?
Did R1 on Monday, haven’t heard back yet
It's a good group for M&A flow. Only really do Sponsor sellsides and buysides. Public work is done by country groups.
They do hold the pen and it's a technical group.
Hours are very sweaty and culture is toxic. There are a number of shithead Directors and VPs who get away with treating juniors like shit.
Big analyst churn rate.
Good exits to MM / UMM PE (think Inflexion, Montagu, TA associates etc)
Source: Was at Jef in London.
Culture is bad within the team or just simply in London groups?
bump
How on earth is TA a mid market firm?
It's the UMM part of the "MM/UMM" I presume. They also go lower in deal size in Europe compared to US, from my experience.
From M&A? Have only heard of lone star, g square and that’s about it for the history of M&A team . TA aaa the tech team
