Career Resources
You have a job offer in NYC at a good firm and want to stay in NYC...
Would Ares or LGP be a better career decision or for potential exits?
Exits into what/where?
LGP and Ares are both top shops in LA for PE. At the associate level however, it is quite difficult to make the jump from coast to coast (from what I've heard).
This is purely up to you, would you be more happy in a great PE seat at a great fund or would you rather be in NYC and give up the opportunity to be in PE at a great fun. This isn't to say that at CVP NYC you couldn't jump to MFPE (not sure on this as I am not familiar with the process)
Are ares and lgp by definition MF? sorry this is a very stupid question
Not the guy you’re replying too, but traditionally no. However, if you go by the $10bn fund size metric some people use, there are a lot more megafunds, including Ares.
Also, it doesnt really matter
I don't get why college students comment on things they don't have knowledge in. If you go to a firm at the caliber of LGP/Ares in LA you can absolutely go to NYC UMM (and perhaps even MF) lateral after 1-2 years.
Also in-terms of the consumer space its harder to get more 'prestigious' than LGP. LGP would be considered tier 1 consumer investors and if you have LGP on your resume you could easily move to consumer PE in NYC (note: I don't go to LGP but we have faced them in many consumer deals).
