I know that these two FSG groups do modelling. Would their hours be similar to other groups or would they have much better hours, like other FSG groups? What is the experience like?

Can’t speak for MS, but CS FSG is known for having a good culture that isn’t sweaty
Got it. How many average hours per week and how are exits?
Second that - CS FSG has a great culture, not too sweaty, supportive seniors, and solid PE exits
Thanks. How many average hours per week and how are exits?
It depends - there is very strong deal flow within that group (especially when markets are hot/less volatile) so would expect perhaps 70-80 hours per week for juniors. Exits include PE at Apollo, Francisco Partners, Blackstone, Permira, Veritas, HIG etc most recently.
Both are great options, I believe FSG is the best group at CS both 'prestige' / culture wise
Thanks. How many average hours per week and how are exits?
I don't know anything about the hours, but a friend of mine at CS FSG signed with a top EU buyout (Permira / Apax / CVC). Take that as you will.
How much of a reputation of a group is based on historical legacy ? For example if all the MDs at CS FSG or GS TMT left would those groups still have prestige?
How would any group fare if all the rainmakers left? Ultimately it’s those relationships and not the name on the door that matters.
