Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific information directly addressing GIC's secondaries team in the London office. However, there are general insights on secondaries teams and their work-life balance (WLB), compensation, and culture at top firms like Blackstone Strategic Partners, Alpinvest, and Lexington. These insights suggest that secondaries roles often have slightly better hours compared to direct PE or IB, as the work involves monitoring investments rather than actively managing them post-close. Compensation in secondaries tends to be slightly discounted compared to megafund PE roles.

If you're looking for more precise details about GIC's secondaries team, you might consider exploring WSO threads focused on GIC or reaching out to professionals in the space for firsthand insights.
