Career Resources
Pulling from another thread - "Barclays LA 2nd year analyst class just finished recruiting: Oaktree, Bain, and Freeman Spogli (NYC)"
Leonard Green, Ares, and Blackstone are also common.
Some data points (within the last 3 years) -
Moelis LA - LGP (x2), Apollo (x2), KKR, Carlyle, Oaktree (x2), Centerbridge, Advent, Platinum, H.I.G. Capital, Newlight Capital, Brentwood Associates
Credit Suisse LA - Clearlake, LGP, Silver Lake, Warburg, Permira, Ares, Aurora, Oaktree (x2), Francisco, Freeman & Spogli
Barclays LA - Marlin (x2), LGP, Oaktree, Angeles Equity, Bain, Freeman & Spogli, Shamrock, Plus Capital
Lazard LA - Ares, Oaktree, Aurora, Marlin (x2), CIM Group
Morgan Stanley LA - Advent, Light Bay, Marlin (x2), Candlestick Capital
I thought there were 2 Moelis LA people who made the jump to LGP. Might be mistaken though.
Yup, you're right. Forgot about him. +1 SB
Any info on HL RX?

Is it a step down from BB LA or self-selection? Is UMM/MF PE possible? Saw one go to Silver Lake historically.
