Silver Lake Associate + Senior Associate Profiles

Went through Associate/Senior Associate profiles on Silver Lake's website. This is the list of their school/bank/group. Seems to be very pedigree focused.  


- Cornell, Evercore M&A tech group

- Wharton, JPM Tech

- Middlebury, GS TMT

- Harvard, BX REPE

- UC Berkeley, Deloitte FAS

- UC Berkeley, GS TMT 

- UC Berkeley, Ares 

- Harvard, MS LevFin

- Wharton, GS TMT 

- UChicago, Lazard M&A tech group 

- Stanford, GS TMT

- Dartmouth, Qatalyst 

- Yale, BAML M&A

- Harvard, MS media and comms

- Cornell, MS tech

- UVA, CS Sponsors 

- USC, Tech M&A Rothschild 

- Wharton, Evercore M&A Tech 

- Wharton, CS LevFin

- UVA, Alpine Investors

- Stanford, Altamont 

 

No offense, but is this supposed to be surprising or something? Look at any MF PE's associates.

Idk honestly looks generally similar to me. Those are good schools and good groups. There's going to be variation year to year too.

 

For the associates/senior associates at our UMM fund:

~50% went to Ivies. Couple others went to targets like UChicago and Georgetown. Remainder is mostly semi-targets and then there are a few non-targets.

40% worked at GS/MS or EVR/LAZ/MOE types. Slightly smaller proportion from mid-tier BBs (BofA/Barclays/CS/Citi) and then remainder from some lower BBs/PE laterals.

For most larger funds, you'll find that juniors with pedigreed backgrounds are more common than not...as one might expect
