LONDON PE Associate THREAD
I thought it might be a good idea to reopen the discussion. Are you aware of any ongoing PE Associate processes in London? It seems all so quiet

Career Resources
Peak Rock is hiring, Permira is hiring (girls only), WP is hiring, and probably missing some.
Who's the HH for Permira please?
who’s the HH for WP? last i heard, they’re wrapping up
Finatal I believe
I am considering getting a sex change at this point.
The best thing you can do for your career is be born a woman.
More detail on Permira. How are they approaching the women only hiring?
TPG is hiring for their climate fund, I think at both lateral and AS1 levels.
Who is the tpg HH please ?
Bump. Also, growth or buyout?
TA currently seing candidates
Bain Cap is in discussions but only looking for a female associate
kea?
I don't know which HH, spoke directly with Bain
Arkesden
What’s the update on this?
Nope - they have filled all spot
CD&R, Apollo, GA are hiring / have been extending offers over the course of January.
But believe they are all done
Which HH for GA please?
Any news?
Anyone in a process with G Square? Heard they may be looking
When will the market pick up again? It seems very quiet, with hardly any processes
There are many processes ongoing, I wouldn't say it's quiet
Do you mind sharing which ones?
I am aware of Advent that just ended, WP Tech and FS, Onex, Triton, Towerbrooks, Permira, TPG. Silver Lake also happened earlier this year. All of the ones I listed are already well advanced in the process btw. Source is: HH reaching out in the past weeks/months or friends already in the process
Advent just filled - 1x GS, 1x PJT
Were they 2nd year analyst or 1st year asso?
Have you heard of Linkedin
Genuine question for London ASO recruiting. Do you recruit for roles a few months in advance, like typical jobs, or do you recruit in your first year analyst days for a role two years out?
Few months in advance
It is definitely more active but with selective requirements for specific languages and targeted backgrounds. Ideally as market continues to open and niches get filled, more roles will come up
What processes are live atm?
Any lateral PE Associate to PE Associate processes?
Is it always hopeless for non-targets?
What is market comp these days for AS1, across both European MFs and the UMMs and MMs?

Can give you data points for 3 separate firms
- non-US MF: £135k base + £61k bonus (45%)
- US MF: £150k base + £180k-£225k bonus (120-150%) (obvious outlier)
- US UMM: £110k base + £130k-£165k bonus (120-150%)
Outlier being WP or Apollo
Other US fund numbers is Advent I believe
UK MM: 100 + 100 bonus
This feels very much right. Used to be £80 / 80k or 90/90 - but seems to have moved a bit post inflation.
From me and some friends in the space this is it. Agree, bonus being +/- there
any update on processes going on?
Anyone interviewing with Lone Star?
When is PE assoc recruiting most active? Heard nov to april ..
Definitely not the case as people won't leave during Christmas time / before bonus gets paid. Usually is more ramping up during March to June i would say
