Fund Placement Internship - Worth it?

Hi All,

I recently got an internship with a fund placement advisory group (think Greenhill or Atlantic City Capital Partners size firm). I was initially targeting investment banks but received an offer here instead. As a result, I'd like to know what I can learn about this area.

What types of exit opportunities are available after one completes an analyst stint?

Would this be a viable option if I may look to continue pursuing jobs in investment banking or PE during fall recruiting?

What is the salary range for a full time analyst in this industry?

“Javier Barrena provided really detailed walkthrough on how he approached a similar tasking before, and although I entered the session not knowing how to approach this case study at all, I have a much clearer picture now. This session was extremely effective, and it's fortunate that he had the availability to do this despite my case study task coming in at a very last minute.”

“Jorge was very practical and generous with his time. He gave me a clear action plan: tighten my elevator pitch to under 2 min, do a weekly modelling case study, and prep technicals, market questions and behaviourals. His networking advice (always ask each contact for 1-2 more names, track fund closes to spot hiring windows, a list of London infra headhunters) was very actionable. He also referred me internally to Nuveen within a week. Only point to improve: I’m still waiting for his feedback on the case studies I sent.”
