Do PE VPs Always Have An Associate Under Them?
Currently an experienced VP. Given unexpected deal flow this year and our current Associates are pretty busy, I've been staffed on a potential new deal without an Associate under me (just an MD and me as 2-person deal team).
I'm expected to do both deal analysis/execution and deal quarterbacking here. I'm already pretty busy with other projects/portcos right now so this would become a huge time commitment if we move forward on the deal.
Other VPs in PE - do you always have an Associate working under you on projects, whether that's portcos or new deals? Wondering if I should push back or ask leadership to hire additional junior support.
This scenario does come up occasionally. In my experience, the Partners will adjust their analysis and diligence expectations accordingly.
That said, if expectations and deal flow appear likely to remain elevated for an extended period, I would definitely push for additional junior resources.
