How much do you actually like your firm?
Hi,
Incoming IB analyst thinking about PE, I am trying to consider which type of firm would suit me best, however I don’t have many alumni in PE and am looking for some real answers. Sorry if this has been asked before, but I was dying to know:
are you satisfied with you choice of firm size ( LMM, MM, UMM, MF) in terms of lifestyle/ comp / interesting nature of the work / potential to move up at firm?
Hoping this will lead to clarity on the choices, and thank you in advance for any and all reply’s.
Work on PIMCO’s private alternatives side, and it’s pretty good. Very top heavy as the ~90 partners split the profit pool, but comp is decent considering the WLB you get. And they’ve significantly grown their NYC and London offices so you dont have to move to Newport beach.
Really interested in PIMCO private alternatives. Seems like a really interesting spin on traditional private investments. If it’s not too much of a hassle, would you mind sharing what your WLB actually is like and how comp progresses from very junior (analyst) to Partner?
Going to keep it high level but WLB is generally 45-65 hrs depending on live deals. Comp for investment professionals is IB base + 70-80% bonus for VPs and below. SVPs+ are a bit of a black box.

I was at a LMM firm in ATL. I really enjoyed it. I got great experience, the lifestyle was decent, and the pay was still good. I had the option to continue to move up but also got a great buyside offer that I took. There are a lot of tradeoffs in pursing the bulge bracket then mega fund path but I feel my choices were ideal for what I was looking for. We have two kids now and this path has allowed the opportunity to spend additional time with my family.
