Best place to go for tech investing?
Senior at a target school with EB internship/FT offer under my belt. What are the best exits (e.g., Insight, Thoma, Vista) for tech investing both culture-wise and with regards to career advancement? Is this even a good idea given the current macro environment?
Tons I'm missing but Silver Lake, Warburg, Apax, Francisco Partners, Permira, Advent, WCAS are some more names.
How is the culture and comp at Warburg?
Warburg pays top of the street along with H&F and Apollo as of the most recent cycle. Tech team culture seems pretty good when compared to some of the other teams, but culture is relatively tough as expected along with the other MFs. You're going to get crushed, but learn a ton and get one of the best brands on your resume - that's the tradeoff

Never understood the recent hype with Insight either. They've deployed 60% of their fund at the top in 2021 and are now struggling massively to fundraise.
Any insight on how SLP has been affected in particular?

Literally a joke list
Can you lateral from firm to firm (e.g., Vista to Insight) after 2 years as an associate?
I dig our team at Hg Capital, we do mature B2B software only w offices in NYC and SF. Admittedly we’re newcomers in the US though.
Dude sounds nicer than all of the others shitting on name brand firms. Try to work with people like Andy and not the self entitled 25 year old douchebags who think they are somehow cool for calling the best known PE shops as being weak. I always find these threads interesting. Most of the times it will be pure luck that determines where your work. Of course good to know who the players are, who has performed well etc, but candidates have less control than you would think given limited spots. Good luck.
