this place just uses atypical titles - if you go to their website, "director" actually seems to be the most junior role

and this is XXX credit, which is a $2B shop that uses the XXX name for some reason (XXX just has a very small silent minority ownership stake), so not exactly a megafund either

Regardless there's no way this person got to were they are purely via skill, he must have had ridiculous connections if he was interning at DB freshmen year and GS sophomore year, as a non-minority.

Yeah there's this crazy concept of "going to a good fucking school and having your shit together". I know it's rare on WSO but why is this shit so surprising every time?

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
 

Frank is right. Read the director profiles most of them were associates or analysts before.

A lot of big PE shops have these alternative investment sister funds or middle market lenders. These basically act like the public face of the bigger funds. KKR has KKR Financial Holdings, THL has THL Credit. Apollo has one, Ares has one. H.I.G has one...In many situations these guys provide debt financing with the PE funds being sponsors.

I'd love to circle jerk, but he's only a 3rd degree connection so I can't see dates and whatnot.

Same. :(

I'm linkedin connections with patrick (he accepts everyone, send him one) so I'm essentially linked to the universe

 

Absolute joke that you'd LNKD creep the guy and start being all starry eyed without knowing who he is or what his firm is like, but I digress... 4 years out of school or whatever this would imply really is enough to tell if someone has the right mindset for a position of responsibility. Not that hard to believe...and it doesn't absolutely have to be luck all the sudden...

I hate victims who respect their executioners
