Associate 2 in PE - LBOs

PolyPlus was an incredible exit. 

I think in terms of future, headcount feels a little full (unsure what it is like in NY). Heard Lyon pay is really bad.  

What do you mean by full? As in they’re not hiring or that they seem over staffed?

I can bite. Interviewed there in 2021 when they opened their NYC office. DM me

Just DMd!

 

Can confirm (second hand) that pay in French office is incredibly bad (think BIG4 level for AN) and heard is also well below market for NY.

Work itself is very interesting and the PE's funds are incredibly successful.

Any insight into interview process? Heard very easy. Including easy model test, but heard from third party so want to confirm

Going anonymous and can't disclose much as I don't want to reveal myself. 

Interesting that Lyon office still pays low compared to the market in other European countries. I interviewed a couple years ago for full time and got the offer but then went for another role. On the flip side, culture was good and hours were good (told me out by 8pm most days). Carry interest given high returns can also balance off the lower pay (especially considering for instance Lyon Vs London or NYC)

Thank you. Can I please DM you for insight into the interview process please? Just looking for insight on the excel model test. Thank you.

Can you please share insight on model test and case study? Heard they’re both parallel processed and are quit difficult.

 

I interviewed here. Seems like a good group, great culture, phenomenal returns (4.0x+ since inception). Absolutely terrible pay, like sub-$100k base for VPs with bonus structure to match. The carry definitely makes up for it if you’re around to realize it, but in the current environment my lifestyle’s way too expensive in the meantime lmao
