100% agreed its literally fund of funds work
who hurt you?
Sure I guess, but secondaries is probably the hottest space in PE right now and the XIG secondaries team is investing out of a larger fund than the latest vintage of GS buyout… kind of weird to get upset about stolen valor at this point
Maybe this was a valid grievance when SSG still existed but that ship has sailed
"Why are they not following the naming convention of my arbitrary tier list 😡"
This must sound so tuff if you’re a virgin
Current Buyout Asso at a lower tier MF, interviewed with them in the past but got dinged.
From what I understood:
1/ 90% of the work at XIG is underwriting single asset companies (FoF is small to non existent), both through Co-Investments and Continuation Vehicles. Average ticket size is USD400mm.
2/ Pay at junior levels is similar/above than top Banking gigs. It truly ramps up when carry hits.
3/ Quick look on Linkedin will confirm that most of their Analysts exit very well (mostly UMM-MF).
what is a lower tier MF - is that just a Euro MF?
Yeah, think CVC, EQT, Cinven
What about their hours? why people leave given it’s already a good buy side job?
Carry will not hit and there’s no way pay is similar at junior levels b/c the actual GS PE group pays less than some MM PE jobs.
Can anyone share color on promotion trajectory in this team?
