Adams Street Partners Secondaries Group
Hey everyone-- I am currently a senior in undergrad (somewhat of a target, think mid-low ivy league) and I am recruiting for an analyst position with the secondaries division at Adams Street.
Just wanted to see if anyone could speak to the quality of the analyst program, and what type of deals this unit typically gets (traditional LP deals, GP-led, etc.). Any information on the training program or comp at the analyst level would also be very helpful. Also, I noticed Adams Street has many different offices and business units, so would really like to know if anyone has any idea of how good these multi-strategy firms are with mobility across offices or strategies.
Appreciate any feedback or advice!
Pretty sure this is the first year they're rolling out any analyst programs
Thanks for the reply. Is there anything about the firm you think is worth mentioning?
Not really. Pretty small potatoes when it comes to secondaries.
Also interested in any recent info on this program / firm

Adams Street is a solid firm where you’ll most likely get a good experience. Everyone I’ve interfaced with there seemed really smart and friendly. But, I wouldn’t go in with the expectation of joining secondaries and then hoping to switch into the growth equity, private credit team, etc. Not only do they have team members split between different offices but there really isn’t a lot of overlap unless you’re trying to move into fund investing. Second, Adams Street is somewhere I would probably recommend joining at the Associate level, especially secondaries. It’s a very specialized skill set, unlike doing co-invest/direct deals, so it’ll likely be harder to move if you don’t enjoy it.
Don't know about the junior levels but I would assume they're not too bad based on what I've heard about the mid/senior levels (roughly 8 am - 6 pm hours for mid six figures comp, which is the dream)
bump, any opinions on this group in 2024?
bumping on this again
did anyone ever get back to u?
