I don't work at Shore but work at another Chicago shop and have a few friends that work there (one an analyst, another a senior associate) in addition to running into Shore associates at networking events, so have a bit of second-hand familiarity.

Hours-wise, it's still PE so would expect around the industry average, but the culture is really strong there. Their associate class across the board seems happier than mine and have great company events. 

The one negative I've heard is the depth of talent there is not quite the same as UMM / MF PE, so if you're a strong player you may get more of a workload, but this is very specific / anecdotal so wouldn't worry about it.

 

Thanks for your insight! Do you know about their comp at the analyst/associate level? Also,is it easy to exit to UMM/MF PE firms?
