No offense, but is this supposed to be surprising or something? Look at any MF PE's associates.
Well I mean Thoma Bravo, a MF, is slightly less pedigree focused:

Idk honestly looks generally similar to me. Those are good schools and good groups. There's going to be variation year to year too.
True. Why do you think MF PE shops are even more school focused than IBanks?
Very few spots compared to the hundreds of bankers applying for the roles, stronger alumni networks, hiring precedents
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
Interesting. How many associates/senior associates are there in total for your fund?
