Career Resources
services and tech are quite tough people often leave before their 2 year is done, and their services team is killing it. digital growth and consumer are quite chill for a large cap - the type you get to host parties during the weekend. tech promotion is hard, consumer promotion is the easiest they just promoted all their VPs to Principal, but also lost 2 Partners within the past year.
This is false information lol.
why don't you provide your real information then
Not the guy you're replying to but my two cents as I had a roommate at Apax:
Varies by team a lot. Services is sweaty but good track record around career development so many VP/principals came up as associates. Tech is old school boys club (almost entire team changed a few years ago) and work hard play hard. Consumer is mix of consumer and internet and generally considered more chill.
does apax have a SA/analyst program out of undergrad in NYC?
yeah they do - but i believe mostly for services and digital
Services team is very strong and does interesting stuff, but very sweaty. One of their recent portcos made 100s or 1000s of bolt-ons.
To my knowledge, Apax doesn't (or didn't this past cycle) participate in on-cycle and does off-cycle fairly late compared to other funds.
Does anyone have any insight on the case study / modeling test they give?
Also curious
Was in the process last year, happy to chat if you want to PM
What’s comp here?

Inaccurate. Pay is in-line with market for fund size
