NOT AN APOLLO EMPLOYEE. Would be curious to see how this new group will impact the experience for the APO AS, less portfolio work to do, but at the same time less experience gained on each investments, would be interested in seeing how their learning curve changes - in anyone from APO can provide color would be cool (please leave aside stuffs on work-life balance, couldn’t care less tbh)
This is a generalization across funds. Portfolio groups generally don’t affect associate work. Associate work is typically helping with quarterly valuations and high level board analyses, plus support for M&A depending on the size of the company. You may be running various transaction math from time to time as well as illustrative modeling what happens when you pull various business levers. Portfolio groups typically work more tactically with management teams.
Are you at Apollo? Asking bc I knew till few years ago As at APO were spending time also doing portfolio work (obv to a lower degree vs a portfolio team)
No (that was what I meant to get at by "generalization across funds").
Interesting tech-focused group, lots of operational experience for sure - but seems like the focus is on improving portco tech and monitoring/improving current investments, rather than doing deals, so will naturally be less sought after for that reason
Thx for chiming in, so could that be a lot of fun too? Also regarding culture and comp, any data points?
interesting if you like tech and implementing/operational stuff - could potentially jump into this with a good tech background (esp at a startup) and less IB/PE experience like most of their other roles require.
Not a traditional buyout PE role so comp will be below their other groups, but assume hours will be lower as well without deals to chase (although you never really know with Apollo lol)
