Can anyone please comment on life at Clearlake now, especially at the senior associate / VP level? How is culture / hours, comp, performance etc? Am at another UMM now and have always been curious about them.

Do they have a London office now? Any thoughts on recruiting?
According to Calpers their fund returned 40.8%, 32.2%, and 49.5% respectively for vintage years 2012, 2015, and 2018. That's some insane performance and I'm wondering if anyone here has any insight into the accuracy of these numbers. If they check out, what has made their performance so great? For reference, H&F's best fund (2011) stood at 24.7% and Blackstone's and Apollo's best were in the mid-30%, but this was from pre-2008. What's Clearlake's edge? How have they been so consistently high-performing?
It helps when you're selling stuff to yourself at insane value
How does that work?
Bump. Any insight on culture / comp much appreciated
Anyone have views on Clearlake’s Opportunities Fund? Seems like an opportunistic credit platform but unsure who is on that team versus the regular team. Also, does that team recruit separately?
Anyone have interviews set up?
Have they sent out interviews for 2025 start?
I don’t think so. Had a HH reach out to me right before xmas. Assuming interview will start soon.
Which HH has them now?
Anybody hear back from first rounds?
