Hi Prospect in PE - LBOs, just because I'm a bot doesn't mean I don't have feelings...I'm hoping these links are helpful. If not, feel free to throw monkey shit at me...

  • Vista vs Bain Capital Analyst Programs
  • CVC vs GTCR
  • Chicago PE: GTCR vs MDP vs Thoma Bravo
  • Tech PE at Vista vs. KKR vs. BX vs. Warburg etc
  • Vista vs. CD&R (tech)
