There are so many growing MM/UMM firms, not sure why anybody would join MDP. Even within Chicago, there are firms on better trajectories like GTCR, BDT, and Linden. MDP's target for their last fund is 3bn and they aren't all that close to reaching that. They have also had multiple seniors get kicked out, neither of these are great signs. Hard to turn down any PE offer, but I’d think very long and hard before taking MDP. It’s firmly in the AmSec/Providence bucket of formerly strong UMMs that are clearly past their peak. 

Structure has historically been 2-and-out, doubt that's changing as the firm is shrinking. Not sure on exact comp, but was told it's very good and certainly will be above what other peers in that 3-4bn fund size range are paying. They are also very old-school (suit in the office types) and stuffy, which doesn't make for a good work enviornment imo. 

 

good placement to HBS. unsure if still true for most recent classes
