Where does your MD live?
As stated in the title, where in NYC / LA / SF / Other does your D / MD / Partner live and in what setting (i.e. apartment, house)?
Thought it might be interesting to see what kind of residential lifestyle the typical salary for these positions can offer.
Let's doxx some GS directors
Met a GS partner with a large lake house in the hamptons
the one who interviewed me lives in great neck but says its been worth it. super chill guy too
Del.
Why would anyone have that information? Do you know where your MD lives?
Yes
Generally in my personal experience, if an analyst is turning comments at a very late hour the night of (or early morning before) a meeting that the MD needs to go to, the analyst or whoever, when the books are finished, would have them printed and shipped directly to the MDs home so he/she can review and have copies ready to go straight to a meeting from his/her home. This generally requires disclosing the MD’s home address to the analyst in order for them to have the books delivered.
In GS some of them list their addresses on their intranet profile. Idk why, but they do it lol
Probably to flex. Or guys that have been at the firm since "calling someone on their home phone" was a thing.
Manhattan condo + Hampton’s house. Is group head tho
Global head: Manhattan UES apt + Hamptons house
which bank, do you mind sharing?
Damn. Those 10 bedroom coops UES Central Park facing housing are the greatest. I would do literally anything for one of those man. Anything.Damn it!! Thinking of it I feel like disgusting vermin now. Life is shit.
My MD in Chicago for a BB rents a really nice apartment and has vacation homes around the US. He recently sold his house in the burbs and is planning to move upon retirement and wanted to enjoy the city for a bit.
Divorce too?
Nope. He lives with his wife and 22 year old daughter
@?
Had to deliver pitchbook to MD’s house once. Upon seeing his car the guy earned my respect. Toyota RAV4 to keep it real. House itself was slightly better than entry level in a nice neighborhood.
Man he fooled you, that’s just his way of lowering your bonus expectations.
“I’m sorry, really wish we could go higher, but F man, I drive a rav4, times are tough”
“And what you think I rap for, to push a fuckin Rav 4??”
Dammit, now that I think about it, you’re right. MF ran with the money with the mistress.
I looked up some of my MDs on this site to see how lavish their personal lives were
www(dot)truepeoplesearch(dot)com
Wtf that site had my home address, dorm address, and phone number.
Partner 1 - renting house in Westchester, owned house in the Hamptons
Partner 2 - owned apt in West Village
I’m NY - most were in New Jersey, former group head had a nice place in UES and two MDs were in UWS. Think one was in Battery Park City as well.
In London - Richmond, Wandsworth, Fulham, Chelsea and Notting Hill
In his sugar baby's loft in Soho
In Charlotte many live in Myers Park and some out on Lake Norman.
Most senior people I know of live in:
Westchester
Long Island
New Jersey
Went to visit my buddy in Westchester and it seemed like you can throw a penny in the air and it'll land on an employee high up in the food chain of their respective company.
For Chicago, Winnetka is popular among seniors. Though it is cheap enough to get a family sized condo in the loop/near north/Gold Coast which is all in the city.
Co-ops are much less common here than in NYC, so most buildings only charge standard building amenity or HOA fees which are much, much lower than co-op fees.
Except that you have to pay your own property tax and sometimes heat. Most co-ops include everything but electric, even internet/cable sometimes.
Interesting. I wasn’t aware of the tax benefit. It seems IL has higher tax too
In Chicago, most senior guys with families seemed to live in the nicer burbs (Winnetka / Glencoe / River Forest / Hinsdale / etc.), though a couple lived in or around Lincoln Park. If you go on Redfin and plug in these areas and set the filter to $2-5mm, I'm sure that'll give you a decent idea of what type of house they have.
I can't actually think of any MD's I worked with that didn't have families, but I'm sure there are some rich bachelor MD's living in nice high rises in River North / West Loop too.
Westchester, Scarsdale, Greenwich, Darien, New Cannan
BAY AREA:
Personally, sr director at a kinda-big tech company - Sausalito
VP above me - Sea cliff, SF
Director under me - SOMA loft/condo (pretty young though, early thirties)
MD at old bank (analysts together) - Palo Alto (including the entire menlo park, atherton, los altos area under Palo Alto)
Partner @ VC fund - Palo Alto
the CEO - Palo Alto
CEO of startup - a marina hill
Note that we are all in our late thirties/early forties+. Ask us this question like 5-10 years ago, and it would have been all SF. As we got older, and as SF kinda went into the dump (maybe it was always like this and it just didn't matter to us when we were 28 and had no families), we all slowly moved away. It'll always be home though, and I'll never stop loving it. (maybe if they kick out chesa and breed follows through on her rhetoric it'll be clean enough to move my family back to)
SoCal:
jr partner in big law - Left Venice Beach for Orange county
Any in Hillsborough?
know ppl there, but i feel like Hillsborough is older and not that interesting
I'm pretty damn sure he lives in hell.
NYC perspective here. Split my time between 2 apartments.
I own an apt in Gramercy (my main apartment), and the other (sublet) is within walking distance from my office.
Most of the time, I'm in my Gramercy apt, but when it gets really busy at the office, I like to just wake up and walk to work.
Logistics for women in Gramercy is excellent, and as any man of culture will inform you, logistics is crucial for the Bang.
I'm in my mid-thirties. No wife or children.
Do most MDs with families live in the suburbs?
Lol this seems like a terrible use of money. Just take a cab to your Gramercy apt
