Thoughts on Digital Infra PE
Anyone have any thoughts on shops that work in the digital infra space? Seems like a cool / hot area to invest but don’t know much about the firms within it. Any info on Brookfield, DigitalBridge, Macquarie? (culture, lifestyle, comp)
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some insights on firms within the digital infrastructure space:

MFs also have infra teams that focus on the digital infra space, btw. Plenty of pension funds are into it / were already in it.
Brookfield: someone who worked there told me that he hated it because it was pretty stuffy in terms of culture. Many years ago, might have changed
Macquarie: a lot of senior turnover in the recent years, got raided by several infra funds. (Not sure if this is global or limited to certain offices). Heard that they used to pay less
DigitalBridge: one of those funds that grew a lot post Covid. I would do alot of due diligence on the team that I’m joining.
Thanks for the responses here. What do you mean by a do a lot due diligence?
The only thing that I can comment on is that they seem pretty eager to enforce / take legal action, so I doubt anyone will freely post their experience online.
Ask ex-employees, portco employees, people in the industry, in real life.
Check if the team / office that you're joining has experienced high turnover.
All of which you should do for any small firm that you don't know that much about anyways.
Macquarie & Brookfield are much bigger and more established firms, you can more or less get a sense of the firm's culture from the various datapoints online. Whereas smaller firms will lack that many datapoints and less consistently across time.
DigitalBridge is an absolute sweatshop and egos run crazy there. But they invest in damn near every company in digital infra and are very successful on exits, can imagine comp and bonus go above 200 as a FYA.
Not too sure about Brookfield or Macquarie - havent done much w them or know anyone there
Any idea on how bad the hours are? Appreciate the intel on these places.
Bump, any additional insights on this?
Id assume at least 80. Got a ton of portCo’s in the space and are always evaluating more
I would check their more recent exits.
Analyst comp - no, and from what I heard, can be highly dependent on whether the deals you worked on closed (which sucks for an analyst since they have zero control, and isn't always the case on the buyside at least). Comp structures also differ by office and sometimes by person, from what I've heard
is this a projection into the future? Are we looking at the same "exits"?
