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).
